Mardi Gras Celebration
This event has been a staple in our community for over 20 years! Each year in February, hundreds of guests enjoy a catered meal featuring creole dishes by Fulgenzi's Catering; drinks by Just the Basics Mobile Bar, dessert by Apple Barn, a silent and live auction, music, games and much more.
​
The 2025 event will take place on February 22nd at Prairie View Reception Center in Chatham. Again this year, there will be live entertainment by Chatham’s very own Dave Littrell!
​
Monies raised from the event help fund college scholarships, promote business and economic development, provide business communications, referrals, and networking opportunities in and around our community.
