Closing out the Festival on a Tuesday? Why not? And as long as we’re thinking this way, why not celebrate Big Time with a Mardi Gras worthy of New Orleans, under the starry Montreal night sky? We start in high style with a parade leaping off from the corner of du Fort and Ste-Catherine streets and heading to the Place des Festivals. Zachary Richard will lead the way for 500 participants and a spectacular array of original floats from New-Orleans’s Mardi Gras. Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue and legendary Louisiana R&B pianist and singer Allen Toussaint with his band will, at Place des Festivals, close the night in style!
