The raucous, joyful sold-out hit event is back for 2024! Dance your beads off to killer brass bands and enjoy authentic NoLA cocktails all night in the ultimate Brooklyn party loft. Find the baby in the King Cake, and be king for the night: you get a crown, mask, beads and a drink ticket. Wear your glittering best and take advantage of our Sassy Selfie Station, with boas, masks and other fun props, plus temp tattoos by HONK NYC.
Featuring:
12am - The L Train Brass Band - a non-profit community of 100+ musicians cranking out a wild mix of NoLA jazz, Latin, Balkan, hip hop, funk, R&B and pop
- 11pm - HONK Family Band - house band of HONK NYC brass festivals, HFB brings the carnival to the party, second-lining onto the stage with liberatory joy. Expect sizzling solos, samba reggae sounds, pop classics and lots o' sass.
- 10pm - AdHoc Brass Band - ADHoc hits the streets of NYC with a big NOLA sound, fusing that swingin’ second-line swagger with the raw power of a modern street band: high-energy, hard-hitting, and unstoppable.
Plus: authentic food and drink flown in directly from NoLA! If you reserve your ticket by EOD Sunday Feb 18, you get a slice of King Cake included FREE - any extra cake will be sold at $5/slice, accompanied by (decaf) Cafe du Monde coffee. We will also serve traditional chicken & andouille sausage gumbo over rice 9-11pm or while it lasts ($15/plate, can also be reserved before 2.19).
Costume suggestions: masks, costumes, purple, gold, green, glitter, beads! We will have some masks available for sale, as well.
