Our 13th Annual Mardi Gras for a Cause will be held on Fat Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
Mardi Gras for a Cause was first dreamed up by a group of musicians from Warwick, NY who wanted to celebrate their passion for music and their community. Living in a town that was so supportive of the arts, it didn’t take long for a whole committee of musicians and business owners to come together and turn that dream into a reality. The inaugural event in 2013 transformed what would have been an ordinary Tuesday night into an evening where people of all ages came together and had unique and memorable experiences while supporting a wonderful community organization, Backpack Snack Attack. Participating Restaurants and Pubs will offer Mardi Gras themed food from and drink specials from 6-9PM and all locations will have live music from 7-9PM. Guests are encouraged to visit several locations during the evening. We are bringing the New Orleans Fat Tuesday Celebration to the Villages of Warwick and Florida NY!! Hope to see you all there!!
Backpack Snack Attack is an outreach program of the Warwick Reformed Church that feeds over 250 children in the Warwick, Greenwood Lake and Florida school districts. The church started the program in 2009 to provide food for hungry school children to eat at home on the weekends during the school year, when school meals are not available. We provide the backpacks and individually sized, ready to eat, kid friendly food items for the children and their siblings. During the summer, we distribute ShopRite and Staples gift cards to each family to assist with purchasing snacks for the summer and school supplies for the upcoming school year. The Backpack Snack Attack program is fueled by volunteers and supported by fundraising, donations and grants.
Thank you for helping Mardi Gras for a Cause and Backpack Snack Attack continue to feed the hungry children in our community! 💛🎒
