Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras (French for "Fat Tuesday") is the final day of Carnival, which begins 12 days after Christmas (January 6) and ends on the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras always falls exactly 46 days before Easter.

Put on your beads, don your party masks, and purple, green or gold garb and join us for an awesome Mardi Gras pot luck (a.k.a. Pig Out!). It's the day that we enjoy delicious food, music and friends. So, sign up in the lounge for a dish to pass (Mardi Gras fare encouraged, but not required) and join us February 5 for a good ol’ fashioned Fat Tuesday lunch following a Mardi Gras parade led by parade marshal Tommy. Jump in line! Don't be shy!

But, if you'd like to graze all day, we welcome that too. Forget about those New Year's diet resolutions—just for today—and have some fun!! Casual attire is acceptable for this festive day if you wear the colors purple, gold or green (not just the beads) and do not have client meetings. Complimentary beads to all who sport their Mardi Gras colors, and all you have to show is a spirit of fun and feasting!!
