Sat 2/6 @ noon-6pm
Lots of bars, clubs and organizations are having Mardi Gras parties in the days leading up to “Fat Tuesday,” the last fling before Lent begins, if you believe in that sort of thing. (For many, it’s just an excuse to party!)
But no one is hosting a party like the Flats East Bank, which will host its first-ever six-hour Mardi Gras Crawl. Purchase an official Mardi Gras Passport to snag food and drink specials and giveaways at multiple Flats East Bank venues — the first 1,000 get a special package included a mask, T-shirt and beads courtesy of sponsor Magic Hat Brewing Company. Then register and start the Crawl at the lobby of the Ernst & Young tower where Madison Crawl will be playing.
Stop in at the Alley Cat Oyster Bar for food and drink specials and a performance by bluesman Austin Walkin’ Cane from 3-6pm. Crop Rocks/Crop Sticks will also have food and drink specials, and the Big Bang Cleveland will have the Dueling Pianos from 3-5pm and free Big Bang koozies for the first 200 people. Other participating establishments include the Willeyville, Aloft Cleveland Downtown/WXYZ, Beerhead Bar & Eatery, Bold Food & Drink, Flip Side, Lago East Bank and Punch Bowl Social Cleveland.
To complete the Crawl, visit at least five of the participating locations. End up at On Air Studio where swamp rockers Cats on Holiday will be doing a special performance at On Air Cleveland from 5-9pm. And register for a chance to win a weekend trip to Burlington, Vermont, for Magic Hat’s 21st Annual Mardi Gras Party.
Tickets for the Crawl are $10, and of course it’s 21 and over, since drinking is involved. Go here to order tickets and get more information:
