Our 8th annual

Mardi Gras celebration!

 The Dixie Theatre lobby all decked out for Mardi Gras

 

A great dinner and show is scheduled :

Big Daddy’s Tangled Roots Band (Blues)

Randall “Big Daddy” Webster has performed his own special Blues roux peppered with Soul and Jazz for over twenty-five (25) years.  It’s a sizzling brew played somewhere between his hometown of Chicago and his musical home of New Orleans.  Big Daddy recently created “Big Daddy’s Tangled Roots” to explore multi-rhythmic infused tunes that stir up Blues, Soul, Jazz, Funk, R&B, Hip Hop and other influences.

Korn Bred (country rock)

Slim Fatz  (dinner set)

 Buffet and Beverages

Chef Danny from Tamara's is again providing our featured food attraction, a Cajun spread of etouffee and supporting selections. The Apalachicola Grill again supplies fresh fish dip, and dessert is from That's A Moray.

                                                                

Wayne & Mary Ann Thomas always help with entertainment and sound, and will reign in 2011 as King Rex & Princess Pearl. David Butler will again emcee, with dedicated Habitat builder Rob Peterson minding the bar.

History of Apalachicola Mardi Gras

For many years after the turn of the century (1900's) Apalachicola had a major multi-day city festival called Mardi Gras. This was long before our current Seafood Festival was created. Then, World Wars and a Great Depression intervened and the celebration was lost...until 2004, when Habitat for Humanity in the persons of Don and Pam Ashley began the process of bringing it back.

This year is Year 8, and with your help it will continue to grow and become a multi-day family daytime event with a parade, as it was a hundred years ago.
  This new young company strutted its stuff in 1915

Come be a part of Apalachicola Mardi Gras!

The Saturday night Feb.5 show at the Dixie Theater will benefit Habitat for Humanity and Franklin's Promise.
