Mardi Gras on Middle Lane
Grab your beads, put on your best mask or festive costume, and head to downtown Beaufort on Saturday, February 16th! Sister cities, in conjunction with Middle Lane businesses, invites you to Mardi Gras on Middle Lane on February 16th from 2:00PM to 6PM. Enjoy New Orleans sounds and succulent Creole cuisine at this afternoon street carnival.
Low country and fiddle music by Gumbo Lily will welcome party-goers beginning at 2PM on the outdoor stage. Gather your friends in a costumed “krewe” and parade Middle Lane in competition for prizes at 3PM. Bring the kids along for the face painting and mask making experience under the tents. Stop in to visit Madame Wendy at her fortune-telling booth. Challenge your “krewe” to a round of boules or cornhole in the gaming area. As the festivities continue, All Night Long will be playing a signature blend of jazz, blues, and dance music throughout the afternoon. Quench your thirst from all the dancing and gaming with a frosty New Orleans-inspired beverage like Bourbon Street Punch made by Cru Wine Bar. Come hungry and enjoy roast oysters at the Backstreet Pub, gumbo and king cakes from Beaufort Grocery, muffuletta and shrimp po’boys from Spoons Catering Company, and barbecued seafood from Aqua.
