Greenpeace in Asheville Today

Greenpeace on Long Shoals Rd in Asheville right now.

Activists have secured themselves to the coal loader and conveyers, which will prevent coal from entering the facility.

Sunday, February 19, 2012 | 2:00pm until 10:00pm

Come one and all to the most fabulous funky glittery parade to hit the streets of Asheville!

Asheville Mardi Gras is an all volunteer community based organization made up of New Orleans ex-pats, aficionados of that culture, and — okay, some folks who just LOVE a good party!

Feel free to put together your own Krewe if you would like to participate.

See the Krewes Page for details!
