Your Mardi Gras plans just got a little more exciting. Black Jack and Tilt Sidebar have officially announced that Mardi Grad Fest will return from Saturday Feb. 25 to Tuesday Feb. 28th.

Here’s how you can make the most your Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday celebration:

Saturday, February 25th, 2017: Be the first to sample 2017’s Marti Gras menu. This includes the traditional New Orleans’s drink, Hurricanes on special for $8. Of course, served in traditional Bourbon Street funnels. Don’t be afraid to channel some of Beyoncé’s southern-gothic style on their red carpet.  A custom Snapchat filter and a mass supply of beads and masks included.

 

Sunday, February 26th, 2017: Black Jack’s Mardi Gras Fest brunch is one for the books.
Tickets include all-you-can-drink, all-you-can-eat and all the live funk music you could need, provided local group, Black Masala.

The menu is rich with Creole cuisine classics including savory and sweet brunch bites like po’boys, signature Eggs Pontchartrain, boudin sausage, grits and grillade, gator bites, crawfish étouffée, and a full raw bar with oysters on the half shell.
