Join us for an unforgettable night of revelry at the 1839 Menard House, the oldest residence on Galveston Island and the very birthplace of Mardi Gras on Galveston Island! This historic venue is where the island’s first Mardi Gras celebration took place, and we’re bringing the spirit of that legendary celebration back for one spectacular pre-Mardi Gras party.
