Mardi Gras is approaching, and on February 16, 2010, the Gaslamp Quarter will host a variety of events aimed at celebrating the historic tradition that embraces indulgences of all kinds. While this might not be New Orleans, San Diego sure holds its own when it comes to food, drinks, and beads.

Kicking off the celebrations will be two spectacular Masquerade Parades that will run up 5th Avenue. The parades will feature colorful floats, cars, and beads and will run at both 7:30pm and 10 pm, rain or shine. And the parades are only the start. There will be seven stages throughout the Quarter with entertainment lounges and a series of ten DJ’s and live bands.
