Enjoy the fun and revelry of Mardi Gras without hopping on a flight down to The Big Easy. Town Hall, located just a few city blocks from Jasper, is once again hosting their popular Fat Tuesday, a festive gathering not to be missed.

A little Background.  Fat Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, also known as Mardi Gras. It is the day when people eat and drink everything and anything they want. Nowhere is Fat Tuesday celebrated more than on Bourbon Street in New Orleans with festivities and parades and, of course, decadent amounts of food and drink.

Town Hall knows how to do Fat Tuesday.  There will be a host of festivities along with food, drink and more food and drink.  Revelers will enjoy bottomless Louisiana Style Hurricanes, Leblon Caipirinhas, Abita Beer and Red & White Wine Selection.   Attendees will also be greeted with an incredible assortment of all-you-can-eat grub, including Raw Bar, Fried Chicken, Jambalaya, Gumbo, St. Louis Ribs, Crawfish Boil, Andouille Sausage, Shrimp ‘n Grits, Corn Bread, Buttermilk Biscuits and King Cake.  Just add live music by The Joe Cohen Show feat. Wil Blades, plus Samba Dancers by Amor do Samba and you have a proper N’awlins party with beads, feather boas, masks and face painting.

To get you in the mood, here are 5 Classic Mardi Gras Drinks to Try, but Not All at Once.  Did you know?  The origins of Mardi Gras can be traced back to medieval Europe and the first Mardi Gras celebrated in America was in 1703 at the tiny settlement of Fort Louis de la Mobile.  Learn more about the rich history of Mardi Gras here.
