Lots of zydeco for a New England Mardi Gras

Langiappe Productions presents its 18th Annual Cajun & Zydeco Mardi Gras Ball on Saturday, February 13, in Cranston RI. Louisiana favorites Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys, Corey Ledet & His Zydeco Band and Hot Tamale Brass Band will be joined by jam band Donna the Buffalo for a raucous night of Mardi Gras fun, running 6 pm to midnight at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet.

A highlight of the evening is the annual costume contest. Many of the attendees come dressed up in full regalia (you don't have to but its fun). Prizes are given in a variety of categories. For complete information
