2026 FF XX Wicked Emerald Fat Friday

NYC's Mardi Gras Party and Fundraiser

Fat Friday is on FRIDAY FEBRUARY 27, 2026

FAT FRIDAY first raised a toast to the Great City of New Orleans in NYC in 2006, seeking to help NOLA's rebirth from the dramatic impact of Hurricane Katrina.

Join us 20 years later as we continue to honor the culture and music of New Orleans here in downtown NYC, while supporting charities from NYC to NOLA !!

Fat Friday's friends and quasi-house band, Circus Mind returns to provide the funky live music, DJ Richie G will make his Fat Friday debut to rock the funky New Orleans beats, MC Christopher will bring the fun with the always popular Fashion Show to the stage, and we are thrilled to share that the incredible Demolition Brass Band will return to the Fat Friday stage to demolish us all with their Fat-tastic second line.

Pre-sale tickets are on sale now.

This event is run by volunteer organizers and producers who help ensure that the funds raised are donated to our worthwhile charity beneficiaries.
