This year’s Mardi Gras celebration is Hillcrest’s 8^th annual celebration of Fat Tuesday, with just as much glitz, glamour and gluttony as ever. Mardi Gras is a 21+ event that takes place on University Ave between First and Fourth Avenues. Professional street performers will entertaining the crowd all night long, and of course food, drinks and tons of beads will be flowing, and don’t forget the dance tent with a laser light show and other spectacular sights!
