Mardi Gras is BACK at Findlay Market! 

You asked, and we listened—Mardi Gras is making its grand return to Findlay Market, and this time, we're going BIGGER & BETTER! We’re moving FAST (maybe a little crazy, but so are we) to bring you our first-ever Mardi Gras Tasting Event featuring festive bites and bold flavors from your favorite Market Merchants.

Join us next Sunday, March 2nd, for a one-day-only celebration filled with Mardi Gras-themed samples—think gumbo, king cake, beignets, jambalaya, and more!
