TULSA - Laissez les bon temps rouler!
It's Fat Tuesday, the annual celebration marking the end of Mardi Gras season.
Rain is forecasted in both the Big Easy and Tulsa, though it's not expected to ruin the fun.
Green Country residents will let the good times roll at the Blue Dome District's Fourth Annual Mardi Gras Parade.
Organizers expect nearly 1,000 people to attend.
The parade is shutting down 1st through 3rd Streets between Elgin and Cincinnati. It kicks off at 7 p.m. near McNellies.
