This year’s Mardi Gras Ball at Clarendon Ballroom has been cancelled, but the parade is still a go. An annual Arlington tradition, the 2018 Fat Tuesday parade kicks off at 7 p.m. on Feb. 13 at the corner of Wilson Blvd. and N. Barton Street, and will continue up Wilson Boulevard, past The Liberty Tavern and end on N. Irving Street. Bring the kids and gather along the route to watch a vibrant procession of floats, live bands, decorated vehicles, dogs, horses, dancers and marching groups. Click here for details.
