Attend King Cake Festival| Evangeline’s Bistro
Evangeline’s will host their King Cake Festival January 5-7. King cakes are part of a Mardi Gras tradition in which a plastic baby is hidden somewhere in the cake. If you find the baby, Evangeline’s will give you a coupon for a free appetizer! You’ll love these cakes, which typically taste like a cinnamon roll. If you can’t make it this weekend, stop by throughout this month and February for Carnivale-style festivals in the lead up to Mardi Gras. Check out their social media and site for full details.

This Sunday, Up-Down will have their monthly Family Hours from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Kids, accompanies by adults over 21, can join you and enjoy playing a variety of arcade games, including familiar favorites.

Reminder as you’re traveling around the CWE this weekend, that transportation is now easier thanks to the Euclid Shuffle! If it’s too cold for you to walk, or you parked far away, you don’t need to let that stop you from exploring the neighborhood. You can take a free ride along Euclid Ave. from Forest Park Ave. to Washington Ave. You can call or text the shuttle for a ride. Hop aboard!
