Philly to New Orleans: a Mardi Gras Celebration
Tuesday, February 16, 11am-2pm
Center Court
The festivities begin at 11 a.m. with Dixieland music and a parade. Chef Beck will serve-up authentic New Orleans favorites including jambalaya, mufaletta and a giant pot of gumbo. Proceeds from the sale of gumbo will benefit the New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity to help the people of New Orleans displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
At 1 p.m., there will be a cutting of the King Cake, a Mardi Gras tradition. A King Cake is cinnamon-filled dough twisted in the shape of a hollow circle. The cake is sprinkled with colored sugar of purple, green and gold, representing justice, faith and power. A porcelain or plastic ?baby? is baked into the King Cake. Tradition holds that whoever finds the baby hosts the next party and is crowned king for the day.
