Fun Suggestions for the Weekend–2/8–2/10/13

The Mardi Gras parade is Saturday morning. More than 100 floats and walking crews-including the 106-5 The Arch crew. The parade steps off at 11 at Busch Stadium and heads south along 7th Street down to Sidney Street. DON’T bring bottles-cans-backpacks-or coolers. Use the hundreds of porta-potties set up around Soulard please. And remember-all of Soulard is closed to traffic. MetroLink is a good choice. Laclede’s Landing is also offering a free shuttle.
