Two- Week Mardi Gras Celebration at Smoken Joe's February 23, 2011

Bacchus beware and be ready!!! It’s a festival of indulgences in preparation for Mardi Gras. From February 23 to the infamous Fat Tuesday on March 8, Smoken ‘ Joe’s will be serving up bona fide musical feast of performers all week long. From hallowed halls of New England pubs to the deep trenches of the New Orleans juke joints, this amazing ensemble of musicians will keep your fingers ... snappin, toes tappin, and your body shakin (anything else and you may get arrested). The lively festivities also stars crawfish etoufee, jambalaya, and other New Orleans delicacies to help us get FAT. Check your everyday self at the door to make way for two historic weeks of fun.
