Revelers Hall Celebrates Carnival Season
Laissez le bon temps rouler!!
Revelers Hall is a home for raucous music lovers in the heart of the historic Bishop Arts District. As the name indicates, there's always a party happening at this New Orleans-style bar where live music is on tap 7 days a week. January 6th marked the Epiphany, which is the official end of the Christmas season, but it also kicks off Carnival season in New Orleans. Although some people use Carnival and Mardi Gras interchangeably, they are actually different things. Carnival is a time to eat, drink and be merry before the rigorous fasting and sacrifice during Lent. It is filled with parades, balls and other celebrations leading up to Mardi Gras, which is French for “Fat Tuesday.” Mardi Gras is always the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. Carnival officially ends at midnight on Fat Tuesday and Lent begins.
Revelers Hall is bringing the NOLA vibe to Dallas and will celebrate the Carnival season with New Orleans-style jazz music all month long leading up to the biggest Mardi Gras celebration in Dallas:
