ST. CHARLES, Mo. – A family-friendly Mardi Gras parade returns to St. Charles this weekend after an inaugural experience last year.

The parade will begin at 11 a.m. at Eco Park. Many floats and performers will make way down Second Street. A Mardi Gras after-party is planned from noon to 2 p.m. at the Foundry Art Centre parking lot at 520 N. Main Center.
