Mardi Gras celebration

"Laissez Le Bontemps Roulez" is what the folks in N'Owlins say on Fat Tuesday, the last day before the solemn season of Lent. the city is a crossroads of world culture, simultaneously parochial and cosmopolitan. anywhere you go in the city you might come across a brass band leading a parade. this includes weddings, parties and even funeral processions.

For one evening only, the Marshall Wharf Brewing Company in Belfast will be transformed to a speakeasy on Bourbon Street when the Huddled Masses Orchestra plays on Tuesday February 17th from 5 to 8 PM.
