 Dig up last year’s party masks and take out your beads, it’s time to hit the downtown party scene and celebrate a sizzling New Orleans’ style Mardi Gras — the Laredo way!
The sights sounds and tastes of exotic food, dancing, and international performers descend upon Laredo’s historic downtown district to make way for the annual UETA Jamboozie, breathing new life to the border city and resurrecting the downtown club scene one Brazilian Samba dancer at a time. Operating under the auspices of Laredo Main Street, this festive pachanga offers a sampling of music from all parts of the globe and a taste of international as well as regional foods including New Orleans and Cajun style selections sure to tantalize your taste buds. Accompanying more than 30 food and novelty booths that line a 20 block area of downtown Laredo selling gorditas, tacos, flautas, menudo, enchiladas and the like, are a string of regional, national, and internationally renowned performers taking center stage on six locations on the corner of Hidalgo, Lincoln, Iturbide, San Agustin, Flores and Grant Streets. Gates for the Jamboozie festival open at 4 p.m. to midnight. Pre-sale tickets are $8 per person (no refunds). $10 at the gate. Kids 12 and under are free.
