Mixolo Goes Out to DC's The Wharf. For Mardi Gras???

Apparently the Wharf is where DC meets.  Perfect for Mixolo.  Washington DC's waterfront city status has been elevated with this mile-long stretch of restaurants, retailers, residences, and businesses with unmatched views of DC's greatest monuments.

New Orleans is coming to DC!  Come celebrate Mardi Gras with a community event featuring a spirited parade and floats down Wharf Street, a dance party with live music on District Pier, and a special fireworks finale.  

Don't opt out!  Come out with Mixolo, with or without a plus-one, and enjoy the Mardi Gras Parade with Mixolo from 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM.   We'll meet at the iconic H Bar (the future of hotel bars) before the festivities start at 4:00 PM. They end at 7:00 PM) with fireworks.  

The Wharf is boasting plenty of activities from ice skating to a s'mores station sponsored by the Washington Capitals (for your inner child, of course).  They're offering free samples of winter drinks at The Waterfront Beer and Wine Garden.  Or just cozy up to the Camp Wharf fire pit whenever you feel a chill. 

We're excited about our "Mixolo Goes Out" events.   We have not secured venues for Mixolo events in DC yet, but we're working on it!  Rather than spending so much time trying to convince hosts of what we already know, we've decided that it's time to take to the streets and just go out and go with the floats!!   

Mixolo will be curating more casual events in cool public spaces.  We want to make it easy for you to opt-in to these events and see what Mixolo is all about.  

No advance ticket fees! No admission fees when you arrive at our Mixolo Goes Out events.   Any food and drink options will be self-pay.

WHERE WE'LL BE:

Hyatt House is situated strategically along the waterfront at the buzzy Wharf location, just three blocks south of the National Mall.  Their H Bar is among the new generation of hip hotel bars that welcome the local community and global guests alike. We'll step right outside to see the parade in all its splendor.
