Show 8pm
Celebrate Fat Tuesday by dancing with the Aux Cajunals and Tom Rigney & Flambeau!
We’ll kick things off with a beginner-friendly dance lesson at 7:30pm, then, at 8pm, join the parade around the hall to kick off a set of foot-stomping Cajun and blues from the Aux Cajunals (Suzy Thompson on fiddle and accordion, Agi Ban on fiddle and rub board, Eric Thompson and Mark Marcin on guitar, Allegra Thompson on bass, and Michaelle Goerltiz on the drums)!
Around 9:15pm, Tom Rigney & Flambeau take the stage with their signature blend of zydeco, Cajun and New Orleans sounds.
Costumes, masks, beads, sequins and parasols all encouraged — or just wear your most colorful sparkly clothes! The Aux Cajunals will be wearing their own hand-made traditional Cajun-style Mardi Gras costumes.

Advance: $20
Day of Show: $25
Student: $15, with valid student ID at the door only
