Events on the Hood River Activities Calendar for Mardi Gras
What’s better than enjoying yourself to the fullest while also helping someone else at the same time? Well, there’s a way to do that with the 2nd Annual Hood River Valley Adult Center Mardi Gras celebration, one of the best events on the Hood River activities calendar. The celebration is a fundraiser for the senior Meals on Wheels. All the proceeds earned from sales of tickets for this event will go to fund Meals on Wheels specifically for seniors. Last year’s first fundraiser was so successful that the Hood River Valley Adult Center decided to make it an annual event. The festivities will start off with a pre-party prior to the actual event. You’ll enjoy good food, great music and libations along with a silent auction and raffle. Make sure to get your tickets early as this evening is quite popular. You must be 21 to attend.

BYOB
Hood River is one of the few places in the United States where open containers of alcoholic beverages are permitted in public. Of course, there are some stipulations. The alcoholic beverage container must be covered either with a bag or the alcoholic beverage must be placed in a cup or other container. Also, alcoholic beverages can only be opened outside and not within an established business. If you’re looking to bring your own libations to the Mardi Gras festivities in Hood River, this is an option for you.
