Mardi Gras Comes to Cabot Street

There will be more than a little taste of New Orleans coming to downtown Beverly on Saturday night.

Beverly Main Streets is presenting Mardi Block, its new Mardi Gras-themed downtown street party on Saturday, August 1 from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

The festivities include live music on two stages, including New Orleans jazz and blues legend Henri Smith, a traditional New Orleans “Second Line” dance and then an after-party at The Cabot.

One block of Cabot Street will be closed so guests can walk around, meet up with friends and listen to live music.

Food, beer and wine will be sold by local restaurants set up on the street in the middle of the festival. Bands will perform on two stages all night.

The suggested donation at the gate is $5 per adult and it is cash only. Bring your MA ID if you plan to drink.

Please note bags may be subject to inspection. No pets, bikes, skateboards or rollerblades will be allowed.
