Mardi Gras 2026 w/ Drew Nugent & The Midnight Society

Transport Yourself to the French Quarter: A Mardi Gras Celebration with Drew Nugent & The Midnight Society

Why wait for a flight to New Orleans when the “Big Easy” is coming to Philadelphia? This February 17th, join us at World Cafe Live for a Fat Tuesday celebration that transcends the traditional concert experience. We’re ushering in a new age of immersive events with an evening dedicated to the sights, sounds, and tastes of the Mississippi Delta.

The Experience: Step through our doors and into the Golden Age of Jazz. We’ve curated a night of sensory delight, starting with a Specialty Mardi Gras Menu featuring authentic flavors from the Gulf Coast. Sip on a hand-crafted menu with takes on the Sazerac or Hurricane from our bespoke cocktail bar as you settle in for a journey through the history of New Orleans music.

The Music: Philadelphia’s own Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society take the stage to perform a set of “red hot” syncopated jazz curated specifically for this holiday. Expect everything from the brassy energy of a Bourbon Street parade to the smooth, sophisticated rhythms of a vintage Delta ballroom.

Schedule:

• 6:00 PM: Doors open for the Big Easy Banquet. Arrive early to enjoy dinner and our specialty NOLA cocktail menu.
• 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM: Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society take the stage.

Dust off your beads and prepare for a night of revelry, elegance, and world-class jazz. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Note: Seating for dinner is limited. We highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance to secure your place at the banquet.
