It's here...it's FAT TUESDAY. We hope you join us for all the great festivities we have planned. First, we will begin at Bourrre Southern Bistro for a terrific pre-party before Jazz Live. The dinner will begin TONIGHT at 5:30pm when you sit down to enjoy an authentic Louisiana Seafood Boil. There will be a full cash bar and great music as master clarinetist, Ken Peplowski, will be providing the festive tunes while you eat. At 8pm, Jazz Live will be rocking as The Euphoria Brass Band brings its New Orleans swagger to the Saville Theatre. Please call 619-388-3743 by 2pm to make your reservation for the pre-party. A $75 dollar donation is required per person to attend, but, hurry, there is very little room left in this intimate setting. If you are just attending the Jazz Live and wish to make your reservations on-line you can do so in The Speakeasy. As always, when attending Jazz Live please check our ticket policy and print the parking pass. |
