Mardi Gras At Ponce City Market Promises Fantastic Food And Fun

ATLANTA, GA – With Mardi Gras just weeks away Ponce City Market is already getting into the spirit.

The free-wheeling, let the good times roll fun is best known for happening in New Orleans.

But you don’t have to go to Louisiana just to get a taste of the bayou on March 1.

If you want the feel of Bourbon Street, starting Wednesday, Feb. 16, take a visit to the food hall so you can land a Honeysuckle Gelato Mardi Gras cake.

The sweet treat features a king cake crust topped with bourbon pecan gelato and a dusting of purple, yellow, green and gold sugar … and a baby inside! Talk about a crown.

If you really want to live it up, come to Mardi Gras on the Roof at Skyline Park on Feb. 26 from 5 p.m. to midnight. The celebration offers live Mardi Gras music all evening, and an all-you-can-eat New Orleans-style feast of all the Cajun classics from shrimp etouffee, chicken gumbo, and bananas foster bread pudding.

There will also be beads throwing, spirits flowing for the adults and unlimited gameplay and rides available for the kid in you.

Tickets are on sale here, and there are options for just gameplay or for the all-you-can-eat smorgasbord. Go to poncecityroof.com for more information.
