On Sat., March 2, students had an opportunity to attend Burlington's very own Mardi Gras celebration as part of the 18th Annual Magic Hat Mardi Gras on Church Street. The event benefitted the Women's Rape Crisis Center of Chittenden County, and attendees were treated to an array of floats in the event's "Grand Parade." Other events included a performance by gypsy-swing band Caravan of Thieves, a King & Queen of Mardi Gras Costume Contest, music from Sambatucada, an Afro-Brazillian band, and a Mardi Gras after party on Church Street complete with New Orleans cuisine, Magic Hat beer, and live music.
