Let the Good Times Roll at the Concourse This Mardi Gras Season!

Mardi Gras season is officially here, and some of your Concourse favorites can’t wait to celebrate with you. 

Mad Grocer is ready to celebrate in a big way. Owners Max and Josie don’t just love that NOLA style, they’re former residents and know exactly how to bring the magic of The Crescent City to Crosstown Concourse. The shop is turning February into a full-on Mardi Gras experience; complete with community fun and unforgettable food. 

February 9-17: Community Art Project + Giveaways with Every Purchase!

It all kicks off Monday, February 9th, with a one-of-a-kind Community Art Project where guests can help build a Mardi Gras float alongside local artist Jana Wilson of Vintagia. This festive creation won’t just be a one-day moment, either; the finished float will return to the shop Wednesday, February 11th, for display, and it will be featured in a silent auction running through Fat Tuesday, February 17th, with the winner announced February 18th.

Expect a rotating lineup of New Orleans-inspired specials packed with the flavors and comfort-food classics that make Mardi Gras season so iconic—straight from the heart of The Crescent City, plus giveaways with every purchase.
