Join me  at the 4th Annual Mardi Gras Jax, located at Jacksonville Beach, for the city's largest Mardi Gras Party and scavenger hunt!

Mardi Gras Jax is a Mardi Gras themed pub crawl that will take you to many of the popular “hot spots” on Jacksonville Beach.  Come dressed for Mardi Gras and win some great prizes: Best Dressed of the Night, Scavenger Hunt, and more.  Then make plans to join us for the Official After Party at Bo’s Coral Reef starting at 9 p.m. where we’ll crown the Annual King & Queen of Mardi Gras Jax!

Start at any of the following 4 locations:

• Ocean Grille
• Bo’s Club
• Lynch’s
• Zeta

Tickets are just $20 and you can purchase your tickets now by clicking the Tickets link or you can purchase tickets on-site at the participating bars/restaurants the day of the event from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m.

Wish there was a way to earn FREE TICKETS? There is! I will be giving away free tickets up until the day of the event. Here are 3 simple ways for you and your friends to score some tickets for the event without spending a penny:
