Mardi Gras at RUNWAY Playa Vista

Laissez les bons temps rouler at Runway Playa Vista's first annual Mardi Gras celebration,  complete with an eight-piece brass band; the Whole Foods beer garden pouring Abita and other brews; a parade with beads (naturally); a pop-up marketplace; food trucks slinging NOLA fare; giveaways and more. Worried about missing the Olympics opening ceremonies? Never fear—they'll be screening outdoors, so you can enjoy the chill of winter sports and those Mardi Gras warm and fuzzy feelings all at once.
