In 2013 the SocialHeart co-founders were wondering why Kansas City didn’t have a large Mardi Gras celebration like our fellow Missourian city, St. Louis. After some cocktails they decided that St. Louis shouldn’t get to have all the fun and the Mardi Gras Masquerade Party was born.

After selling that event out they decided to grow it in 2014 to a whole weekend to the Masquerade Party by adding the Mardi Gras 5k, Street Festival and Cajun Cookoff. Now in the third year SocialHeart is excited to team up with the Kansas City Power and Light District to grow Mardi Gras KC into a huge event for everyone.
