Brawl on the Beach

It’s never too early to start getting worked up about Mardi Gras. At the Varsity this weekend, the newest kid on the parade block, Mid City Gras, returns with a summer dance battle—and all for good. Six area adult dance crews will face off to raise money for STAR, Susan G. Komen, Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital, the Northshore Humane Society, Girls on the Run South Louisiana, and N.O. E Black Gold Hearts. The theme for the 2020 Mid City Gras Parade will also be announced. 6 pm. $25–$50 at crowdrise.com.
