laissez les bon temps rouler!

Let the good times roll... Fat Tuesday is just around the corner and Buffalo is going to be celebrating New Orleans style as Artvoice presents its 17th annual Mardi Gras Parade and Festival.

On Fat Tuesday (February 21), the Elmwood Strip, Chippewa District, and Historic Allentown will become Buffalo's own French Quarter. Start partying at 5pm when the parade makes its way though town, and keep partying until we get kicked out!

All funds raised by $5 bracelet sales benefit Give for Greatness, a campaign to restore funding to dozens of cultural groups.

It's Buffalo's biggest party night of the year... so come out and party for a great cultural cause!

This page is under construction as we finalize the details for this year's celebration - so check back soon for more information!
