It's Fat Tuesday, everybody! And for those who celebrate, or those who wish they were in New Orleans — or Rio, or elsewhere — to celebrate, there are a few festivities happening in SF.

Down in New Orleans, Mardi Gras celebrations tend to wind down by the evening hours of Mardi Gras Day, with everyone out parading and partying since the early morning hours, and for much of the last week or more. But here in San Francisco, where most folks didn't have a day off, there are still some evening celebrations happening Tuesday, as the Examiner alerts us.

Mission District restaurant Curio (775 Valencia) is going to be hosting the East Bay Brass Band this evening, and there appear to be plenty of reservations still available to dine while enjoying some New Orleans jazz between 5 pm and 8 pm.

After that, next door at The Chapel, the famed Rebirth Brass Band from New Orleans will be playing a Mardi Gras show starting at 8 pm. Tickets for that can be found here.

There is also a Mardi Gras swing dance party at Verdi Club, courtesy of the Woodchoppers Ball, featuring the seven-piece band Hot Baked Goods, and that starts at 9 pm. ($20 at the door).

And the SF Carnaval organization has a neighborhood-wide event happening tonight, with over 30 participating businesses, and live music happening all over "from soca to cumbia and rumba," as well as dance performances.

Five specific venues, including Arcana and Casements, will be hosting music and performances and you can see that schedule below.
