Powered by York Promotions, Von The Promoter, and Derty Work Entertainment, attendees will enjoy a rich day full of Mardi Gras/New Orleans-themed activations including a live brass band, craft cocktails, burlesque lounge, jazz club, casino pop-up, live poetry, comedy, DJs, performances, and games.
“As one of the organizers of the Atlanta Mardi Gras Festival, I couldn’t be more excited to bring this celebration to our city. Atlanta is a melting pot of cultures, and it’s the perfect place to host a festival that’s as colorful and diverse as Mardi Gras,” said Ais York – Founder of York Promotions.
“This isn’t just about replicating the New Orleans tradition; it’s about embracing the spirit of unity, resilience, and cultural richness that Mardi Gras symbolizes,” he added. “We’re not just putting on another event; we’re creating a space where the spirit of New Orleans can thrive in the heart of Georgia. So, come and join us as we bring a piece of New Orleans to Atlanta and celebrate the cultural impact of Mardi Gras together.”
