Mardi Gras is one of those holidays that simply has to be experienced to understand: the dancing, the music and the nightlife all combine to create one of the most unforgettable experiences. Not everyone can make the trip to New Orleans for the big party, however...

New for 2012: Mardi Gras Madness is on its way to Coast. Come and soak up the carnival atmosphere, collect your free Mardi Gras beads on entry- and then try to collect them off other people.

What will you do for beads?

New Orleans theme such as a fortune teller, a jazz band player, a jester, or even a swamp creature. The sky's the limit when it comes to Bourbon Streeters dressing up for Mardi Gras.

The traditional colours of Mardi Gras are:
Purple for Justice
Green for Faith
Gold for Power

The Red Bullets are returning to play Coast in the run up to the release of their debut album, 'Drama In The Drawing Room'. Their last two gigs here have been fantastic nights and extremely popular. They'll once again be followed by the club DJ.
