Celebrate Mardi Gras at the finest "Fat Tuesday" celebration in New England!


All happening on a fun and festive (weekend!) night:  Saturday, March 1, 2014.
 

This annual event brings Bayou greats up to New England and treats celebrants with outstanding live music, dancing, costumes and contests, and of course, food, drink & merriment, all night long!

This year's lineup features Steve Riley & Mamou Playboys, C.J. Chenier & Red Hot Louisiana Band and Leroy Thomas & the Zydeco Roadrunners, with the Hot Tamale Brass Band providing additional musical entertainment, so the chance to dance never wanes!

The 22nd Annual Cajun & Zydeco Mardi Gras Ball takes place on Saturday, March 1, 2014 from 6:00 pm until Midnight at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet in Cranston.  Mardi Gras celebrants come from all over New England.  Area hotels are holding blocks of rooms in anticipation,  and more details can be found on the event website: www.MardiGrasRI.com

Tickets are $30 in advance and $40/door, or $325 for a reserved, decorated table for 10.  Reserving tables has become a great way to share the Mardi Gras spirit with friends and co-workers for a late-winter, amazing night out.

Tickets available on website: www.MardiGrasRI.com.  Additional news available on facebook.com/MardiGrasBall. 

The Mardi Gras Ball sponsored in part by McLaughlin & Moran Distributors and Abita Beer. A portion of the proceeds will benefit VSA Arts RI.
