GASLAMP MARDI GRAS
The Gaslamp's annual Mardi Gras celebration is housed in one huge festival area: the Masquerade Parade starts on Fifth Avenue and E Street.
Strolling dancers and performers treat audiences to music and Mardi Gras revelry, and the fan-favorite parades (at 7:30 and 10 p.m.) shower the throngs with beads. Cajun, Creole and other eats line the streets, along with craft and bead booths. Three stages of live entertainment will also be in full swing featuring traditional Zydeco, blues, retro, house music and more.
For $40 partygoers can upgrade to VIP status, which includes amenities at 10 Gaslamp nightlife hotspots (Belo, The Keating's Minus 1 Lounge and the Merk, Thin + Onyx, Red Circle, Bondi and SIN, among others). Also available are $30 tickets that include dinner at several downtown eateries.
No umbrellas, cameras or video cameras are allowed. You'll just have to try and remember your Fat Tuesday debauchery.
