Boati Gras - Port of Fairfield Bay, Arkansas

In February it is WAY too cold on our mountain lake to get out in boats and celebrate Mardi Gras so we decided to have our own Mardi Gras like event in the summertime....with a boat parade. So on the 1st Saturday in August every year we meet at the Fairfield Bay Marina on beautiful Greers Ferry Lake in Fairfield Bay, Arkansas. We have a little gumbo, a 2nd Line Band, do a little dancin', & have a boat parade!!! Come join us. HOW FAT IS YEAUX BOAT?!

2015 Boati Gras Fun!

The 2015 Boati Gras was a rousing success!!! Despite the many obstacles that kept cropping up in the planning stages, the day went off without a hitch. Many folks were dressed in costume and ready to dance that 2nd Line with the band and catch some throws. We had some beautiful boats and some fun people.

More boat pictures to follow, as well as the Trophies & Winners!!! Laissez les bons temps rouler!!!
