Mardi Gras Comes to Nevada City This Weekend

Presidents' Day weekend also means Nevada City's annual version of Mardi Gras. The celebration is set for Sunday, always held the weekend before the actual New Orleans event on Tuesday. Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lynn Skrukrud says the parade will wind through downtown Nevada City with floats, costumes, live music, and the community spirit that has made this one of the town's most beloved annual traditions. The event draws visitors from across the region and is a highlight of Nevada City's winter calendar.
