MOUNTAIN MARDI GRAS 2008
Jay Peak's Mountain Mardi Gras is back this season from February 25th to March 1st (yes, we know it’s not the official MG dates – but we’re committed to irreverence).
Plenty going on that week - music, food, events and as always lots of good times. Read on and make notes of all the things you don't want to miss out on. All events are FREE unless noted. These events* are tentatively scheduled and are subject to change. Keep checking back as we confirm details.
