The Village Project will add a pre-Mardi Gras Celebration: "Super Community in The Fillmore" to its annual Fat Tuesday in the Fillmore. The 10th annual Mardi Gras San Francisco Style with great music, creative costumes, good food and colorful beads, will include a free Super Community concert in the Fillmore Center Plaza on Saturday, February 6th. The festive celebration will resume on Fat Tuesday, February 9th with a free blues party, a New Orleans style processional and culminate with a masquerade ball.
The two day festival will again bring San Francisco's historic Fillmore Music District to life with blues, performed by Tia Carroll and Alabama Mike, from 4 to 9 p.m. on opening day, Feb. 6th. Starting at 5 pm, legendary blues artists Bobbie "Spider" Webb and Alvon Johnson will headline Fat Tuesday's activities (Feb. 9th), along with a New Orleans style processional down the Fillmore Corridor followed by the annual Masquerade Ball at West Bay Conference Center at 7 pm.
With the help of Super Bowl 50 Host Committee, San Francisco Travel and Soul America, we expect to attract many tourists to The Fillmore, one of the most historical neighborhoods in San Francisco.
The Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball will take place at the West Bay Conference Center, at 1290 Fillmore. The crown jewel of San Francisco's Fat Tuesday celebration will feature Alvon Johnson & Band and DJ, Mr. "C". Guests will enjoy an evening of New Orleans style food, dancing to Zydeco and rhythm and blues, and plenty of partying.
Advance purchase tickets for the Masquerade Ball are available at https://goo.gl/RL2UEg. Ticket price include admission to the ball, dinner, beads, a wristband for corridor specials and a beverage. The purchase of a wristband will allow those not attending the ball to enjoy specials offered by numerous Fillmore restaurants and businesses.
