About
A two-day Fat Tuesday extravaganza. Saturday kicks off early with a "Dash for the Beads" 5K run and costume contest, with proceeds benefiting FIDO Oak Cliff, an organization dedicated to funding a permanent doggie park. The revelry continues with a masquerade ball at the Kessler Theatre. You can wear anything from jeans to black tie, but you've gotta wear that mask. Sunday, show up in the afternoon for a giant, pre-parade crawfish boil (with a side of cajun jamablaya). A portion of the proceeds will be donated to a charity selected by Go Oak Cliff.
