You don\u2019t need to be in New Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras. And, yes, even after Gasparilla, Tampa Bay still has plenty of beads to go around.<\/p>\n

Downtown Dunedin turns into the Latin Quarter this Fat Tuesday with a parade along Douglas Avenue. The street festival includes music from Papa J & Mo Soul and Mutant Fusion Collective. <\/p>\n

Music starts in Pioneer Park at 5 p.m. and the parade starts at Beltrees Street at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

There is no cover for Dunedin Mardi Gras, happening Tuesday, Feb. 17.<\/a><\/p>\n
