BeadQuest III - Festa's 3rd Annual Mardi Gras Pub Crawl - Parades through Chicago's Wrigleyville

Feb. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- If there's one thing that Festa Parties is great at, it's giving Chicagoans something to celebrate. Mardi Gras, traditionally celebrated in and heralded as a New Orleans gaiety, now has a home in Chicago thanks to BeadQuest! On Saturday, February 19, 2011, Festa Parties hosted its 3rd Annual Mardi Gras themed Pub Crawl through Chicago's Wrigleyville neighborhood. The familiar "Cubby Blue" was replaced with purple, green, and gold beads, feather boas, wigs, sequins - participants came out in full force and didn't let a Windy City winter keep them from baring some skin. Over 1,200 people participated in this year's event, which started at 2pm at Murphy's Bleachers. Crawlers traveled to 12 different bars, collecting and competing for numbered beads throughout the day. Although BeadQuest is on a smaller scale compared to TBOX, it still had all the manic energy and unrivaled fun that has become characteristic of Festa's events. Attendees returned to Murphy's Bleachers around 10pm for a private DJ/Karaoke party and raffle drawing. Prizes included complimentary tickets to TBOX 2011, gift certificates to Chicago's hottest bars, tailgate swag from lead sponsor Miller Lite, and Opening Day Cubs Rooftop tickets. Festa Parties took the winter doldrums, slapped some Mardi Gras beads on them, flashed them cool bottles of Miller Lite, and turned an otherwise uneventful weekend into something to celebrate!

Be sure to check out all of the other Festa fun in 2011. "Cover Your Bases III"- Festa's 3rd Annual baseball themed 'crawl- is on Saturday, April 30, 2011.
