Fat Tuesday in the Fillmore
Tuesday, February 17, 2015 | 5 pm
Fillmore Center Plaza (near Ellis), San Francisco
FREE, but a $10 wristband gets you access to food and drink specials along the Fillmore Corridor.

The 2015 festival will again bring San Francisco’s historic Fillmore Music District to life with stilt walkers, street artists and performers. The celebration also will commence with a free blues concert from 5-7 pm, featuring the legendary Bobbie “Spider” Webb & The Blues Ryders Band. A festive New Orleans style processional down the Fillmore Corridor will follow.

The procession will end at the Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball at West Bay Conference Center at 7 pm (tickets are $25 for the Ball).
