DESCRIPTION:Alexandria’s Garden District Neighborhood Foundation (GDNF
 ) 🏡 is proud to announce this year’s Mardi Gras festivities featuri
 ng our famous Mutt Strut\, doggy costume contest\, live entertainment\, 
 plus food and beverage food trucks. The good times will roll on February
  10th\, 2024\, starting at 2:30 p.m. at the corner of Albert and 20th st
 reets. ⚜️\n\nAfter the Alexandria Mardi Gras Association (AMGA) Chil
 dren’s Parade at 10:00 a.m.\, the public is invited to continue the fu
 n by promenading in our puppy parade and enjoying an\nevening of live mu
 sic with four-piece band Sound of Change. Registration for the Mutt Stru
 t begins at 2:00 p.m.\, costumes are judged right before the doggy parad
 e rolls at 3:00 p.m.\, and the band will play from 4:00 p.m. till 8:00 p
 .m. The Foundation asks attendees to bring CANNED GOODS as their “tick
 et\,” so check out the details below. 🎟\n\nDogs and their owners ca
 n register for the costume contest and second line starting at 2:00 p.m.
  Enrollment costs $15 for the first dog and an additional $10 for each d
 og thereafter\, payable by cash\, check\, or Venmo. Get excited\, becaus
 e there will be prizes for the most festive and unique costumes to be aw
 arded by local celebrity judges.\n\nFood and bar truck details are being
  finalized\, but rest assured we will have delicious options to enjoy th
 rough the band’s set. Bring pop-up chairs\, a picnic blanket (weather 
 permitting)\, and your dancing shoes! 💃🏼\n\nIn true Garden Distric
 t fashion\, the Foundation asks attendees to bring along these canned fo
 od items for the annual contribution to the Food Bank of Central Louisia
 na. It’s things we take for granted (items like peanut butter\, baby f
 ood and formula\, or essentials like olive oil and spices) that make the
  difference for a family in need. Our community needs our supporting act
 s of service now more than ever. 🤍\n\nTo learn more\, check out the g
