Mardi Gras at the New Haven Free Public Library 

Mardi Gras is a celebration of New Haven—an evening full of delicious food and drink, live entertainment and a silent auction brimming with one-of-a-kind experiences—to support the incredible work of a community treasure, your local library.

This year’s event puts the spotlight on Stetson Library, a cornerstone of the New Haven community.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT MARDI GRAS:

• chance encounters with glitterati and bibliophiles who love the public library
• tastings from some of the area’s most popular restaurants
• signature cocktails from local bars and mixologists
• silent auction featuring exclusive experiences and items to benefit Stetson Library
• New Orleans-style parade featuring members of our creative community
• dancing the night away to blues, jazz and classic hits
• a photo-booth to capture the spirit of the evening
