Mardi Gras in Downtown Bellingham

Anyone who’s been in downtown Bellingham recently knows how much the area’s been cleaned up. With several new businesses coming on board and new housing being introduced, the area has received a major face-lift in recent years.

One group who’s been involved in this effort, and who’s driving promotion for business in downtown, is the Downtown Renaissance Network. We’ve been involved with the group for a little while now, developing the downtown Bellingham identity, designing print materials and producing several TV spots.

Most recently, we’ve been working with DTR to promote an upcoming party – Downtown Mardi Gras 2008. The network is putting on a Mardi Gras celebration on Feb 9, a benefit to raise money for DTR complete with costumes, dancing and live Zydeco music (come on, when’s the last time you danced to live Zydeco music? And in Bellingham, for that matter.), some tasty food, an auction and other festivities. You can find out more about the event and secure your space at their Web site.

It should be a great event, and it will be bringing in $ to support downtown too.

So come on, get out there. Celebrate Mardi Gras. And support your downtown Bellingham.
