Pageant de
Mardis Gras
Sunday before Fat Tuesday

   The annual Mardi Gras parade promises to be exciting and gaudy! Thrill to the pageantry as costumed walkers, stunning floats and more bring a taste of New Orleans to the Tower! Join our celebrity King Bacchus as he toasts the opening of Mardi Gras! Plenty of after-parade parties and activities.

Mardi Gras
Fat Tuesday

        Fat Tuesday is something to experience with live music, loads of colorful costumes and wild festivity. Frolic is definitely the operative word for Fat Tuesday's activities. It’s a bash you’ll be talking about all year, so wander through the neighborhood and check out the sights. Outdoor stages, as well as indoor music locations, will be located throughout the District. You’ll have to cover a lot of ground to witness all the fun. Shake off those winter blues and party…Tower-style, on Olive Avenue in the Tower District!

    The Tower Mardi Gras posters by Juliana Harris can be purchased at the Evo Bluestein web site, including posters from all TMG's previous years.
