More information on Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp

Celebrate Fat Tuesday's Mardi Gras in style in the historic Gaslamp District. The fun begins with a colorful parade under the Gaslamp arch at Fifth Avenue and L Street. Several square blocks are cordoned off for this event; a USD10 per person charge lets you into the party area. All the restaurants offer special drink prices; live jazz and blues spill out of the clubs and into the streets, where party-goers dance the night away. Contests, costumes and prizes round out the evening of lively fun. Admission is free, but clubs and restaurants may charge cover prices. Credit card acceptance varies by vendor.
