Thanks for the info, Christi.
Do you know if the little festival space with booths and the stage (on the south edge of town, not far from the big store) will still be happening on the 15th, or will that all be gone by then?
We wandered through there last year and it was fun. I'd enjoying catching the end of things next week if it's still going.
Everything Carnival related shuts down on Wednesday - the day after the final parade - because Lent has then started - Carnival is the same thing basically as Mardi Gras so Tuesday night "Fat Tuesday" is the last hurrah until Lent is over.
