Downtown Foley is set to bring a festive twist to its monthly Third Thursday event with a Mardi Gras-themed celebration on February 20, one week from today. From 5-7 p.m., participating local businesses will welcome visitors with special promotions, a lively atmosphere, and the chance to take part in the Mardi Gras Bingo Bonanza. Shoppers can collect stamps on their bingo cards as they explore downtown, with a completed card earning them a chance to win a $200 prize package.

Running from February 17 through March 14, the promotion encourages visitors to submit receipts from downtown businesses for a chance to win a share of a $1,500 prize package consisting of gift certificates. The grand prize drawing will take place on March 20 at South Baldwin Social, where attendees can enter without a purchase by submitting a photo with an “I LOVE DOWNTOWN FOLEY” sign.
