Thank you to all who joined to celebrate San Diego’s longest running Mardi Gras street festival, Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp, on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 from 5:00pm to 11:00pm. In 2013, the Gaslamp Quarter Association was proud to partner with McFarlane Promotions, Belly Up Productions, the Gator by the Bay Production Team and San Diego Brazil Carnival to debut an all new Fat Tuesday extravaganza at the 19th Annual Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp.
In celebration of the Gaslamp Quarter's long tradition of live music, the 2013 event emphasized a diverse live entertainment menu featuring an electrifying talent lineup ranging from Z-Trip, Ozomatli, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Little Hurricane, The Gaslamp Killer, Jesse Marco, Theo and the Zydeco Patrol and more on four captivating stages within a more intimate setting in the Gaslamp Quarter from Market to L Street. In an effort to create new traditions, interactive jazz processions were hosted throughout the festival so that guests could participate in the Mardi Gras merriment, instead of merely spectating.There were be light and art projection in elaborate and outrageous themes to create a whimsical atmosphere through the venue to plunge Mardi Gras revelers into a wonderland of surprises at every twist and turn.
Tickets for the 2013 event were $40 in advance and $50 at the gates (all attendees must be 21 years or older and have a valid photo ID to enter).
