Denver Mardi Gras Carnaval with Bella Diva!
When? Tuesday, March 5th at 8 pm
Bella Diva World Dance brings Mardi Gras and Carnaval to The Clocktower Cabaret for their 8th annual celebration of one of the most lively nights of the year, Mardi Gras – Fat Tuesday! This Brazilian/New Orleans-style celebration features the exciting choreography of the glamorous Bella Diva Dancers, who will even lead the crowd in a traditional Second Line dance. Come in mask and costume to dress your best for Denver’s HOTTEST Mardi Gras & Carnaval celebration!
Fat Tuesday is the last day of the Carnaval season, and it always falls on the day before Ash Wednesday, which is the start of Lent. So it is time to “live it up before you have to give it up.” It’s going to be a romp-roaring, booty shaking, bead throwing night of debauchery and fun, hosted by our King of Mardi Gras, Naughty Pierre!
Don’t wait to get your tickets. Get yours here!

Fun and Little-Known Facts About Mardi Gras
- Back in 1875 was when Mardi Gras became an official holiday in Louisiana. However, in Atlanta and Miami, it is also considered a legal state holiday.
- In addition to being known as Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras is also called Shrove Tuesday. The word “shrove” comes from “shrive” that refers to the action of confessing. There is an unofficial practice that some Catholics have, which is about confessing their sins before the 40 days of Lent starts.
- The popular green, purple and gold beads started being used back in 1872. Back then, the king of the first daytime carnival selected those colors so that they’d be tossed at people based on the meaning of each. Green meant faith, purple meant justice, and gold meant power.
The Mardi Gras Carnival is one of the most legendary events for Bella Diva Dance every year, and 2019 will be another one for the books. Don’t miss out! We’ll see you there.
