PARTY IN THE PARK
The ZU is going on the road. One whole block. Look for the inflatable ZU monkey in his Mardi Gras mask in Montezuma Park. We’re serving our Sansgria mocktail (no alcohol) ($7) and Pink Cava, the good kind of bubbly straight from Spain. Think Spanish Champagne. ($10) Every drink comes with beads. It’s Zydeco, what did you expect? Two-time GRAMMY Award winner Terrance Simien & The Zydeco Experience is bringing Louisiana Creole zydeco to Cortez. Come find us in the park. Tips benefit ZU Arts Initiative. Cash and credit accepted. FREE
