Downtown Gloversville Comes Alive with Music, New Orleans Style Mardi Gras Parade & More

The evening includes fun for everyone of all ages:

From 5 to 7 p.m. enjoy a vibrant and festive downtown with shopping at local stores and downtown dining options at The Mohawk Harvest Cooperative Market plus Food Trucks parked on Main Street near The Glove Theatre (A&S Spice and the Plated Palette)

Entertainment includes

• 5:30 p.m.: A Second Line New Orleans style parade with local musicians and “strollers” joining The NoLaNauts band on Main Street. The parade group will depart from The Glove Theatre and head out onto the sidewalks of Main Street. The procession will make a round trip of Main Street – stopping in front of participating stores. The parade will return to The Glove Theatre between 6 and 6:30.
• 7 p.m.: The NoLaNauts concert at The Glove Theatre, 42 N. Main Street
• 7 p.m.: Tradition Duo concert at Dorn Space, 99 N. Main St.

“This amazing event came about because the City of Gloversville and the Glove Theatre were recently part of a WAMC radio news story discussing the city’s $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) grant,” Donovan explained. “As a result of this interview, The Glove and Albany-based band, The NoLaNauts, connected. What started out as just a fun and funky New Orleans inspired concert event quickly turned into a full-on celebration of downtown to highlight what Gloversville can be as the revitalization effort progresses.”
