TICKETS & MORE INFORMATION: www.FPNMardiGras.com

Saturday, February 25th will mark the

Front Page News 5th Annual Mardi Gras Music & Food Festival!

Front Page News, long Atlanta’s cultural and culinary center for all things New Orleans, will once again be the mecca for those looking to celebrate that most famous of carnivals – Mardi Gras. The festival features bands, along with traditional New Orleans food and drink.

MUSIC:

This year's Musical entertainment features a lineup worthy of The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Headlining will be Atlanta group The Constellations, playing crowd favorites along with tunes from their recent release Southern Gothic.

Also appearing throughout the festival will be New Orleans rockers The Squirrelheads and the Mike Veal Band, and the R&B sounds of the Larry Griffith Band. And since it’s not Mardi Gras without a little rowdiness, ‘pit stomp mariachi’ band Grinder Nova and ‘Atlanta’s wildest community band’ The Seed & Feed Marching Abominable will both be on hand as well. Finally, local favorites My Homework Ate My Dog, a crowd favorite from last year’s Festival, will make a return appearance.
