Mardi Gras Party at The Porch

Maybe you can’t make it to NOLA for Mardi Gras, but you can head over to Medford. The Porch Southern Fare & Juke Joint is throwing a big ‘ol bash that’ll bring Bourbon Street to Boston with street performers — stilt walkers, jugglers and an aerial bartender pouring shots — face painting and live music. Starting at 1:00pm, park yourself at Rivers Edge Drive (no reservations required, and no cover charge) and design a food crawl through street food stations for your fill of beignets, po-boys and craw dogs.

Grab a Tequila Tromba or Plantation Rum specialty cocktail, then grab a seat to enjoy tunes by the Hot Tamale Brass Band. Can’t get there before 6:00pm? No worries — that’s when the party ends but seated service starts back up at 7:00pm with street food & frozen cocktail specials and music from funk band Get Nice Trio. Questions, comments or concerns? Ring 781.874.9357.
