Make no mistake about it; we give our friends down in the Big Easy a run for their money! Mardi Gras events take place throughout the town of Breckenridge, and our mile high festivities have become known for setting the bar for Mardi Gras in the mountains. The two major events are the Bacchus Ball and the Fat Tuesday Celebration. The Bacchus Ball is a New Orleans Style masquerade ball bringing live music, dancing, Cajun-style food and drink prepared by an authentic New Orleans chef to Breckenridge. Festivities include the crowning of the Mardi Gras Rex and Queen and much more. The Fat Tuesday Celebration brings a festive and wild parade featuring floats, music, food and drink specials, colorful masks and tons of beads down Main Street.
