Performance Schedule

Laissez les bons temps roulez! TBGO heads to Galveston to celebrate Mardi Gras Texas-style! Parade steps off at 7:30 pm and loops twice through the Entertainment District.

Parade steps off at 6 pm starting at the Seawall, then travels down 25th St and through the Entertainment District.

Laissez les bons temps roulez! The Mysti Krewe of Nimbus organizes a family-friendly Portland Mardi Gras Parade every year ("the last Mardi Gras Parade in America"). TBGO was part of this event for the first time in 2017 and returns to the scene of the crime for another year . Parade steps off at 7 PM at Victoria Bar, 4835 N Albina Ave, and heads south on Albina and Mississippi Avenue to NE Fremont.

You know what'd be fun? A Mardi Gras parade with a bunch of little kids and a slightly crazy marching band. Well, guess what -- that's what's happening today at the French American International School. TBGO will step off and lead a procession from the flagpole at the front of the school to the nearby firehouse on NW Johnson St and back to the flagpole. Immediately afterward we head into the school gym to play some tunes. Hey, for once we're expecting the audience to dance more than the band!

The Northeast Community Center's building first opened its doors in 1925 as the Northeast Portland YMCA. In December 2004, after the YMCA announced plans to close the facility, a dedicated group of neighbors had a dream – to create a center of fitness, wellness and connection. In 2005 the Northeast Community Center was the result. It's time to celebrate 20 years of creating community in this historic 100 year old building!

After a pandemic-induced hiatus, Donald is BACK baby!!! 99% of the hazelnuts produced in the United States come from Oregon -- a darn fine thing to celebrate! Donald does it with a classic car cruise-in, BBQ cook-off, your favorite eats, plenty of booths for shopping, and of course a PARADE! We'll be part of the parade (which begins at 11 AM), followed by a standstill show. You'd be nuts not to celebrate with us!
