Lubbock Meals on Wheels’ 24th annual Mardi Gras fundraiser is set for Feb. 28 from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center.

The evening will have more than 37 restaurants providing sample-size portions of their delectable fare, music by Bo Garza, a large silent auction, a Mardi Gras King and Queen in full regalia, cash bars, and a large children’s area with a variety of activities and games.

Colorful beads will be available to make the evening festive. A Character Selfies Photo Booth will be there to document the Mardi Gras fun for $5 per photo.

Mardi Gras tickets are $45 for adults, $10 for children 12 and under. Note that the age for youth tickets has changed. The ticket grants you entrance, tasting from all the restaurants, the entertainment, and the children’s area. Tickets can be purchased in advance at lubbockmealsonwheels.org, at Lubbock Meals on Wheels’ office, any Select-A-Seat location (service charge applies) or for $50 at the door. We accept cash, checks, or credit cards (no American Express). Tickets can be mailed or held at will-call.
