Mardi Gras revelers will find a piece of Louisiana in downtown Littleton, March 4-5. Ten restaurants are participating in this year’s festivities. Photo courtesy of Terry McElhaney
Littleton’s Main Street is a long way from Bourbon Street, but for one weekend each year Greg Reinke brings a little bit of the Crescent City to the south metro suburbs.
For the eighth year in a row, Reinke, a neighborhood fixture and the newly elected president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association, has talked 10 restaurants, including local Italian and Mexican institutions, into doing things they would normally never consider – hosting live music, selling ceremonial Mardi Gras beads and offering a broad range of Cajun and Creole-inspired cuisine.
Littleton’s Mardi Gras is March 4-5, “Fat Friday” and “Fat Saturday” respectively.

Cherry Hills Village will be hosting a public input meeting on Wednesday, March 2, at 6:30 p.m. at the Village Center, 2450 E. Quincy Ave., to discuss proposed changes to the city’s zoning standards. The focus of the meeting will be to gather community input on the proposed use of Bulk Plane and Floor Area Ratio regulations, which if adopted, will place limits on the size and bulk of new residential construction.
The Residential Development Standards Committee has recommended that the city consider adopting Bulk Plane and FAR zoning standards to address concerns expressed by city residents “about the size and scale of development of some new homes relative to the particular lot size and character of the neighborhood.” The city has hired the planning consulting firm Winter and Company to assist with the development of these standards.
For more information, call 303-783-2721 or email rzuccaro@cherryhillsvillage.com.
