Mardis Gras Party at MVP on Friday Feb 8th!Mardi Gras

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Mardi Gras" (pron.: /ˈmɑrdiɡrɑː/), "Mardi Gras season", and "Carnival season", refer to events of the Carnival celebrations, beginning on or after Epiphany and culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday.

We have a fantastic lineup starting with International folk artist, Hank Becker,kicking things off at 9:00pm. Then it's the Possum Bottom Minsterals, followed by Crowshot. And Blue Caboose will take the stage at midnight, and then finally, There will be a group jam session to finish off the night. All participating musicians are invited back onstage to enjoy one great big collective jam session to say goodnight.

Bring your beads, and your masks, and if you want to dress up in full Mardis Gras Costume, well that's just fine too.

More on Mardis Gras:
Mardi gras is French for Fat Tuesday, referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which begins on Ash Wednesday.

The day is sometimes referred to as Shrove Tuesday, from the word shrive, meaning "confess."Related popular practices are associated with celebrations before the fasting and religious obligations associated with the penitential season of Lent.
