What is the...


BlackRock Rocks Mardi Gras Celebration is a taste of New Orleans nestled in Bridgeport. A party with a purpose, our seventh annual fundraising event takes place on February 18, 2012. The party starts in the afternoon and goes well into the night. Featuring over a dozen bands and New Orleans inspired food, the atmosphere of Carnival is alive in the heart of Black Rock at Acoustic Café, Neutral Ground, Lulu's Cafe & Marty’s Brick Oven of Black Rock!

Who are...

BlackRock Rocks is a Bridgeport based production organization comprised of local musicians, artists and avid supporters of both.  Over the past several years BRR has worked together to sponsor our annual Mardi Gras fundraising event.  The success of these efforts has raised more than $15,000 for the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, The Higher Ground Fund, Tipitina’s Foundation and Delfeayo Marsalis' Swinging with the Cool School.  It is through the generous support of local venues, bands and sponsors that this is possible.

"And a good time was had by all!! Bourbon St. would have been proud!

WTG BlackRock!" - Mr. Delfeayo Marsalis on 2010's Event
