There’ll be reveling in the streets

Honesdale holds its second Mardi Gras on Main

HONESDALE, PA — The Greater Honesdale Partnership’s second annual Mardi Gras on Main will be held on Saturday, February 13 between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Just as in New Orleans, local “krewes” will parade on the town’s sidewalks during the festival.

Krewes traditionally dress in costume, build a float to promote their business and hold a big parade. Each krewe will be scheduled to depart at a specific time throughout the day in order to bring continuous activity to Honesdale’s Main Street. They will parade from their place of business or a pre-arranged location all the way down one side of Main Street and up the other, and are limited only by their imagination and good taste. There will also be musicians on the street corners and a variety of food vendors.

The event is open to local area businesses, nonprofits, civic organizations and anyone who would like to join in the fun.
