12:00pm-4:00pm | Blood vans will be available at 11:00am, Tips will open at Noon

The Rolling Elvi and the Sassyracs present a weeklong Blood Drive culminating in a huge celebration on Sunday, August 13th at Tipitina's.

The primary goal of the event is to unite all Mardi Gras walking Krewes and their fans in donating as many pints of blood as possible. Blood donation remains an essential need in our city, and this blood drive is a tremendous opportunity for these Carnival participants and their supporters to do their part.

More than a dozen Mardi Gras dancing krewes will grace the Tipitina’s stage with their spirited performances. We are also thrilled to announce live performances from DJ Fayard along with a musical performance from Tyler Kinchen & the Right Pieces. Blood Donations can be made on-site during the event or before the event at designated blood donation centers.

Interested donors can find a center online at www.thebloodcenter.org. Click on Blood Drives and use code 214003 to count their donation toward our goal.
