Well, around this time of year, as in building up to Easter, and Hastings enjoys its own version of
Mardi Gras, as in the
Hastings Fat Tuesday Music Festival 2020, which this year runs from Friday 21st to Tuesday 25th of February, and is in its eleventh year, I believe. Starting with the
Launch Party and
Un-Convention;
Saturday Unplugged at many venues,
Sonics and
Le Grand Mardi Gras Ball;
Umbrella Parade,
Preservation Sunday,
Under the Radar and
Sonics again;
Slim Monday; the musical extravaganza that is the
Fat Tuesday Tour itself, again with numerous acts playing at many venues, and the
After Party (
website).
But the music doesn't stop there, as can be seen from the poster I spotted above, because on the very next day begins the inaugural
Hastings International Piano Festival (26th February to 8th March 2020). Go to the
website for further details.
Of course it's Music Month (14th February to 17th March), and Hastings is certainly the place to live for eclectic live music and partying!
