Brunswick Ballroom ‘Fat Tuesday’ Party

Cajun & Zydeco Spectacular

Fat Tuesday is upon us. Get ready for the biggest party of the year!

Mardi Gras (aka Fat Tuesday) is the biggest, most raucous party of the year thrown in Roman Catholic countries the night before Lent begins. Every Catholic knows that Ash Wednesday begins a 40 day fast of austerity to purify the soul, so Mardi Gras is one last chance to live it up and get down and dirty!

Throughout ‘Cajun Country’ in rural Southwest Louisiana and on the streets of New Orleans they celebrate Fat Tuesday with festive food, music and dance with masked parades, Mardi Gras beads, costumed chicken runs, marching bands, dance bands, King cake and communal Gumbo’s…perhaps better known here as Shrove Tuesday or ‘Pancake Tuesday’ we invite you to join us for this festive occasion at Melbourne’s best party venue the Brunswick Ballroom!

Cajun music and it’s close cousin Zydeco are the traditional accordion driven dance and social music styles from the prairie and bayou country of Southwest Louisiana and East Texas, featuring fiddles, Cajun French vocal and highly infectious rhythmic dance feels, look forward to a night of peppy 2-Steps, Waltzes, Breakdowns, Blues and Stomps from the Swamps!

Come celebrate a Cajun Mardi Gras ‘Fat Tuesday’ themed Party at the Brunswick Ballroom for a night of Cajun and Zydeco music with Melbourne’s own ‘Johnny Can’t Dance’ Cajun Band and all the way from Newcastle NSW ‘Titian Payne’s Big Zydeco Express’ with special guest “Saint Jazz” on Holy Alto..
