If you are in downtown San Diego on Fat Tuesday you are required to Party Mardi Gras ~ Gaslamp style! Beads, boas and mayhem will equal bon temps this March! The 17th Annual Gaslamp Quarter Mardi Gras returns on Fat Tuesday, March 8th, 2011 from 6 PM to Midnight, when more than 40,000 revelers flood the streets of the Gaslamp to become the ultimate bead-miesters! San Diego's largest one-day festival will decorate the city's historic district in vibrant purple, green and gold jewel tones and will feature live entertainment, flamboyant floats, party-starting DJs atop raised platforms, mouthwatering grub from food trucks, incandescent concoctions and beads of every color, shape and size. Fifth Avenue between Broadway and K Street will morph into The Big Easy, with two magnificent parades – at 7:30 PM and 10:00 PM – cirque-style performers, all-girl pink fairyland complete with go-go dancers, thrilling carnival games and daft punk beats grooving to the projected lightcycles. Attendees dressed in outrageous costumes will party all night as the sounds of the nation's hottest electronica DJs pump up the crowd in the all new electonica-infused DJ zone, Techno-val. This decadent day of debauchery is San Diego's most extravagant party, so don't miss out! Proceeds will go to the Gaslamp Quarter Association. This event goes on rain or shine. Ticketed event/21 and up only. Proceeds benefit GQA (Gaslamp Quarter Association).
