Then, just a few days later, on Fat Tuesday, February 13th, businesses throughout the 16 ½ block historic district will keep the Mardi Party vibe going with decorated patios and storefronts, hosting live bands, entertainment and offering food and drink inspired by the Bayou’s biggest day. To keep the good times rolling, The Gaslamp Quarter Association has partnered with “Circus Mafia” so that Mardi Gras revelers on both Saturday and Tuesday evening get a chance to enjoy stilt walkers, acrobats, and visual artists in different niches of fifth Ave. Whether it’s low-key sophistication, swanky luxury or a high energy dance party, the Gaslamp Quarter caters to them all!
