Fat Tuesday at Maya Cove:
Bloco @ Mardi Gras

Bloco @ Mardi Gras
A Samba band from Fort Collins showed up

Samba bands are made for parades and Mardi Gras is a great event perfect for extremely loud marching drum bands! This past Tuesday the famous mobile percussion group ‘Bloco em Foco’ paraded through at least one bar in Fort Collins to help celebrate  in a festive way reminiscent of Bourbon Street complete with beads, masks and face paint. If you were not there, you missed out!
