The Change Up Mardi Gras Party Saturday February 21 9:00 PM

Discover our passion for brewing and enjoy the finest craft beers and cocktails.

Our Manchester venue is bringing the spirit of Bourbon Street to Connecticut for a massive Mardi Gras celebration headlined by The Change Up. This event is designed for those who want to trade the ordinary for a festive, high energy atmosphere filled with live music and a floor that stays packed until the early hours. The Change Up is known for their infectious stage presence and a setlist that hits all the right notes for a holiday takeover, ensuring the energy remains at a total peak from the first chord. Whether you are coming for the Mardi Gras festivities or just looking for the best Saturday night energy in the city, the environment at 165 Adams Street is the perfect setting for a legendary night out.

The atmosphere for our Mardi Gras party is focused on celebratory fun and a professional concert vibe within our massive building. We have a dedicated area for dancing and a high quality audio and lighting setup that brings every song to life. The performance begins at 9:00 PM, making this the premier destination for your Saturday night celebration in Manchester. As the energy builds, you can expect an inclusive and social environment where the community comes together to enjoy the best live entertainment in the region. Our layout offers plenty of space to move while still maintaining comfortable spots for those who want to grab a drink and soak in the festive energy of the night.

A Mardi Gras celebration is even better when you fuel up with fresh additions from our kitchen and a cold pour from the bar. While the band is rocking the stage, you can explore our extensive list of house brewed craft beers and creative cocktails. Our kitchen is serving up top tier dishes that offer a break from the standard rotation. We suggest trying the Chicken Quesadilla featuring melted cheddar jack and a side of sour cream or the Crispy Shrimp tossed in chili crisp and yum yum sauce. For those looking for a solid handheld, the Cali Love Smash Burger with guacamole and chipotle aioli is a fan favorite. To finish your holiday night on a sweet note, grab a plate of our Cinnamon Sugar Donuts or our famous Fried Oreos.

This event takes place on Saturday, February 21st, at Elicit Brewing Manchester. The music starts at 9:00 PM and runs late into the night. Please be aware that there is a cover charge for this special Mardi Gras event. We recommend arriving early to avoid the line and to grab some food and drinks before the dance floor reaches full capacity. There is no better way to celebrate the holiday than with a high energy live show, great food, and the best crowd in Manchester. We look forward to seeing everyone bring the heat for The Change Up this Saturday night!
