Following the outdoor festivities, the Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball will take place at the Westbay Conference Center, 1290 Fillmore at 8 pm. The crown jewel of San Francisco's Fat Tuesday celebration will feature Alabama Mike & Band, while guests enjoy an evening of New Orleans style food prepared by Nia Soul, dancing to Zydeco and soul train tunes and plenty of partying.
