The Gaslamp's annual Mardi Gras celebration is housed in one huge festival area: the Masquerade Parade starts on Fifth Avenue and L Street.

Strolling dancers and performers treat audiences to music and Mardi Gras revelry, and the fan-favorite parade showers the throngs with beads. Cajun, Creole and other eats line the streets, along with craft and bead booths. Three stages of live entertainment will also be in full swing featuring traditional Zydeco, blues, retro, house music and more.

No umbrellas, cameras or video cameras are allowed. You'll just have to try and remember your Fat Tuesday debauchery.
