An incredible line-up from Henry Turner Jr.'s Listening Room in North Boulevard Town Square is the highlight of this family-friendly Mardi Gras celebration. This year catch acts including Pastor Leon Hitchens, Eddie "Cool" Deemer, The Soul Revival Band, and Henry Turner Jr. & Flavor. A VIP Pre-Party offering a preview of some of the musical acts will be February 16 at 7 pm in the Listening Room for $30.
