From Center for a Stateless Society received via email
Hello,
We are very excited to announce that the annual Coup de Gras Mardi Gras Festival & Unconference will be returning this year to Fontainebleau State Park in Mandeville, LA.
An annual anarchist Mardi Gras celebration thrown by Krewe de Main and the Center for a Stateless Society deep in the bayous of Cajun Country, Coup de Gras is equal parts anarchist bookfair and Carnival celebration.
All are welcome, and there is a press release below and attached with all the relevant information for the event. Whether you're able to join us or just help spread the word, all is appreciated!
In solidarity,
Alex McHugh, C4SS Coordinating Director

Coup de Gras Mardi Gras Festival Returns for 2023
Fontainebleau, LA – The Center for a Stateless Society teams up with Krewe de Main to host the fourth annual Coup de Gras festival - Coup de Gras IV: A New Hope. Half Mardi Gras celebration, half anarchist unconference, this week-long camping festival brings together an eclectic collection of guests, performers, speakers, and experiences.
It all starts with a series of pre-fest shows starting in Lafayette and culminating in New Orleans. From there, we’ll set up camp at Fontainebleau State Park and hear from C4SS speakers, other guests, and attendees themselves. Look out for announcements confirming major guests on Facebook, Twitter, and Mastodon. And get in touch at coupdegras.riseup.org if you’d like to be involved as a speaker, vendor/tabler, sponsor, or performer.
As an unconference, there are some aspects of this fest that are a little different! The specific sessions will be decided on as we get closer and at the festival itself. The schedule is always open to additions, extensions, and changes in general. The idea is for attendees of all kinds to make the festival what they want together. For more on this and other aspects of the festival, view the FAQ here.
For more information or to buy tickets, please go to www.coupdegras.wtf. While the ticket sale software doesn’t allow us to make this sliding scale, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Please email us at coupdegras.riseup.org to request reduced or no-cost tickets.
