Mardi Gras San Francisco Style, 2017
SAN FRANCISCO -- Mardi Gras San Francisco Style returns to the Fillmore on Tuesday, February 28th. The annual Fat Tuesday celebration opens with a free blues concert at 5 pm in the Fillmore Center Plaza, where Pat (Lady Guitar) Wilder, is followed by a New Orleans style processional, led by The St. Gabriel Brass Band and SumbaFunk!. The festivities continue with a masquerade ball at the West Bay Conference Center at 8 pm, where The West Coast Blues Society will perform some California style blues. Fat Tuesday in the Fillmore will again bring San Francisco's historic Fillmore Music District to life with rhythm & blues, a colorful family friendly carnival atmosphere, along with face painting, street artists and performers.
Guests will be able to enjoy food, drink and other specialties at numerous Fillmore restaurants, clubs and businesses. A plethora of eclectic delectable eats will be available to satisfy every palate -- whether it's coffee and sports at the Fillmore Café, homemade cookies and ice cream at Bumzy's Cookies and Miyako Ice Cream; Bruno's Italian, mouth- watering sandwiches from Prime Dip or Ethiopian cuisine & Jazz from Sheba Piano
"We are hopeful about this year's celebration as we are expecting visitors from the Fillmore District and beyond," said Adrian Williams, executive director of The Village Project and co-producer of the event. "Not only does our annual Mardi Gras celebration include elements of the traditional New Orleans celebrations, it continues to embrace the rich history of the Fillmore neighborhood -- where music has been intertwined into the fabric of everyday life for more than 100 years.
Following the free outdoor blues concert, the Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball will take place at the West Bay Conference Center, at 1290 Fillmore. The crown jewel of San Francisco's Fat Tuesday celebration will feature The West Coast Blues Band and DJ, Mr. "C", spinning dance tunes, as guests enjoy an evening of New Orleans style food prepared by Nia Soul, dancing to Zydeco, more blues, and plenty of partying.
Advance purchase tickets for the Masquerade Ball are available at https://www.eventbrite.com. Ticket price include admission to the ball, dinner, beads, a wristband for corridor specials and a beverage.
The purchase of a $10 wristband will allow those not attending the ball to enjoy specials offered by numerous Fillmore restaurants, clubs and businesses along the Fillmore Corridor. Tickets and wristbands can be purchased @ https://www.eventbrite.com.
