PO’ BOY QUARTER AND DING DONG LOUNGE ANNOUNCE FEAST OPTIONS AND MUSIC LINEUP FOR FAT TUESDAY!

Hey Melbourne Music City Revellers & Lovers of Fine Food – the musical lineup and menu for Fat Tuesday Festival has been finalised!

Po' Boy Quarter joins forces with Ding Dong Lounge to present the most colourful Food & Music event of the season on Tuesday, 9 Feb at Piazza Italia, Argyle Street in Carlton.

A rich smorgasboard of Southern food will be on offer with Po’ Boy Quarter, Girl with the Gris Gris, Bluebonnet BBQ & Taco Truck providing delicious cuisine including Louisiana Gumbo, Po’ Boys, Texas BBQ, Tacos and more.

The artist lineup is Adam Rudegeair's Bayou Tapestry with Henry Manetta, Jazz Party, Horns Of Leroy, The Always for Pleasure Allstars with Kerri Simpson and The Gumbo Blues Band with Chris Wilson, Steve Lucas, Jerome Smith, Matt Dwyer and Ash Davies & Skyscraper Stan and The Commission Flats.

The event will be hosted by RocKwiz Supremo Brian Nankervis and includes fantastic local DJ’s Mohair Slim (PBS) and Bruce Milne (RRR). Multiple bar areas and a smorgasbord of Southern food stalls will be available to attendees.

Entertainments including a funky second line brass band parade, a fortune teller’s booth and a costume competition that will culminate with the crowning of Melbourne’s very first King and Queen of Mardi Gras!

Mardi Gras, which is French for “Fat Tuesday,” celebrates the last day of the “Carnival” season in New Orleans – an audacious and bodacious orgy of merrymaking, parades, feasting, and dancing. Mardi Gras is traditionally the last chance for Catholics to engage in debauchery of any type before Lent in the lead up to Easter, but it has been adopted by the entire city’s population as a shared joyous cultural event. Now it's Melbourne's chance to do the same.

9 February, 4-10pm, Piazza Italia, Argyle Street, Carlton.
