It was a perfect night for Mardi Gras Tuesday evening at Lake Sumter Landing Market Square.

A large crowd was out to enjoy the festivities which included beads, masks, costumes great music and of course, plenty of food and drink.

This was the second Mardi Gras festival to be held in The Villages. The first was held this past Thursday at Spanish Springs Town Square.
