Cape Girardeau has French in its blood, from the city's name to its downtown architecture. Naturally, Mardi Gras has long been celebrated here. A new Mardi Gras tradition continues this year with the fourth annual Mardi Gras Bash at 7 p.m., today at The Venue. Shades of Soul and The Intention will perform. Call 651-6681 or visit capegirardeauvenue.com for information and tickets.
