We have the need for beads now that Mardi Gras is on the horizon. Famously known as a major cultural event in New Orleans , “Fat Tuesday” is a celebration of indulgence on the eve of Lent , featuring fabulous food + flying jewelry.
Don’t sweat it if you can’t make it down to the bayou, though. You can celebrate right here in Seattle.
- Island Soul Rum Bar & Soul Shack | It’s a party every night at this Columbia City hot spot, but there’s a special menu on Tuesday, Feb. 13, with crawfish Monica and jambalaya.
- Where Ya At, Matt | The food truck is baking up King Cakes — grab a slice through Fat Tuesday.
- The Royal Room | The South Hudson Music Project takes the stage at this jazz venue Tuesday for an evening of festive tunes.
- Ivar’s Salmon House | Enjoy a Cajun + Creole buffet, drink specials, live music, and prizes at Seattle’s longtime seafood staple.
