Mardi Gras Throwdown

2025 Fat Tuesday party with The Parish Cafe and Elephant in the Room.

Our fourth annual Throwdown is happening on March 4! Celebrate Mardi Gras right here in Healdsburg, where we will have the beer and wine flowing, crawfish boiling, and gumbo bubbling. Live music and a guaranteed good time! The party starts at 2 p.m. and ends when the music stops. The stage at Elephant in the Room will be bringing the sounds of New Orleans with three great bands: Brian Boudoin and the Swamp Dawgs, Spike's Awesome Hotcakes, and featuring Vernon "Ice" Black and The House Party. 

The Parish Cafe will have your favorite Louisiana dishes available from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., which includes crawfish boil with Louisiana crawfish, po'boys, muffuletta, gumbo, jambalaya, beignets, and more! Featuring the wines of Flambeaux Wines, and beers from Fogbelt Brewing. A photo booth and kids' activities will also be provided! 

$25 adults, $15 children (ages 2-12), and children under 2 are free. No food/drink is included in the ticket price.

The ticket covers the entrance to the event. Once inside, food and drink tokens are available for purchase at the event for $8. Most food and drinks cost one token. Don't forget to dress to impress, dancing shoes and all!
