Reservations & Tickets

The Big Annual Tradition lives on in downtown Petaluma — and it’s time to dance.

Join us for an electrifying Fat Tuesday Dance Concert + street parade, featuring an all-star lineup of Rhythmtown-Jive favorites and special guests.

Featuring musicians from Rhythmtown-Jive: Snakebite Jacobs • Kevin Zuffi • Tim Eschliman • Rene Jenkins. Plus special guests: Johnny Bones & Beau Beaullieu (The California Honeydrops) • Keta Bill • Katie Guthorn • Kathy Kennedy (Big Bang Beat)

These incredible players have performed with legends including Etta James, Commander Cody, Joe Louis Walker, Natalie Cole, Mary Wilson, Smokey Robinson, and many more.

FAT TUESDAY STREET PARADE: We’ll kick things off with a festive Brass & Rhythm Band parade at 6:15 PM, starting in front of the Mystic Theatre and rolling through downtown (weather permitting). Deck out, get loud, and follow the groove! Beads encouraged. Costumes celebrated. Dancing mandatory.

We strongly recommend purchasing tickets in advance — this annual tradition sells out!
