Celebrate Mardi Gras—Roxborough Style
Ridge Avenue library hosts Fat Tuesday party, Wednesday.
A day late isn't always a buck short. The Roxborough Branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia will get its strut on Wednesday, as it hosts a Mardi Gras party for kids and families.
The celebration, which runs from 6 to 7:30 p.m., will feature a parade, beads, party favors, and music to go along with the Fat Tuesday celebration.
Roxborough Library director Bruce Siebers said themed food, like King Cakes, will also be available when New Orleans comes to Ridge Avenue.
