Masks, masks, masks everywhere? New Orleans style? You must the Marda Gras Street Festival!

Aug 11 was the day the hand clicker was in my palm and I was pressin’ away and greeting the patrons. Knowing I’m a bit late in the blogging game, let’s give my photos of Marda Loop and such a go!

The solar panels you see on the left from Enmax were generating the power needed for the DJ on the right to play the music. That’s extremely cool to me.

Schuyler Snowdon!

After the clickin’ and countin’, I went on my festival hunt again as always, seeing snippets of this and snippets of that. So there you go and enjoy my snapshots of the festival. I enjoyed the masks lining up the streets and the eco-friendly activities. I missed the pet pageant and the chance to review Waffles n’ Chix (ohnomnom subway sandwiches at the volunteer tent), but I don’t regret soaking in more then my share of the street festival atmosphere.

Keep it here with yycstreetfestivals coverage on our site and the Marda Gras Facebook page has a nice photo album here. 🙂

I could say I'm just another YAA contributor, but you don't want to underestimate the leadership power of all my fellow youth. From blogging, I've learned that writing is great, but it's versatility can only come when it provokes discussion and inquiry, and that's what we can collectively do best. I want to rather get to know your insights, so always feel free to shoot me comments here and there.
