(PADUCAH, KY; January 23, 2024) – The popular Mardi Gras and All That Jazz celebration benefitting Mercy Health Foundation – Lourdes is once again in full swing. 

The good times will roll starting at 6 p.m. on February 13, or Fat Tuesday, at the Carson Center at 100 Kentucky Ave. in Paducah.

Mardi Gras and All that Jazz is the region’s premier charity event because everyone loves a party! The event features tempting Cajun-themed food and drinks from the area’s most popular restaurants. Live music and various entertainers get partygoers marching, dancing, and shimmying, while free masks and beads ensure guests celebrate Fat Tuesday in style.  

Best of all, the fun-filled evening of music and dining supports Mercy Health – Lourdes Hospital, with proceeds funding improvements and upgrades of its facilities and services. Past proceeds funded new pediatric rooms, an epilepsy monitoring unit, 3D breast cancer detection technology, and a pediatric intubation device for the hospital’s ER.
