🎭 Mardi Gras Market Returns to Lost Worlds Brewing – Cornelius

Mardi Gras is rolling into Cornelius, and Lost Worlds
Brewing is ready to bring the party! 🎉🎺

On Saturday, March 7, from 12–5 PM, the taproom, Biergarten, and back lot come alive with over 40 local artisans and makers showcasing their small businesses, bold colors, brass horns, and all the festive vibes you’d expect from a New Orleans celebration, right here in Lake Norman. Grab your krewe, sip a King Cake Ale, hunt for one-of-a-kind finds, and soak up a Saturday you won’t forget.

A strolling horn trio from Bach to Rock Music School sets the soundtrack, joined by live performances from Steve Brown (11 AM - 2 PM) and Thomas Stainkamp (3-6 PM), keeping the energy high all afternoon.

Come early and come hungry! Lost Worlds Coffee will be serving up tasty treats starting at 8 AM, including our limited-time King Cake Latte. When the market kicks off, Lost Worlds Kitchen will be serving from 12–9 PM, and Muchachos Food Truck will be on-site from 12–6 PM. Behind the bar, our festive King Cake Ale will be pouring alongside your favorite Lost Worlds brews, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options — perfect for afternoons that turn into evenings. While you shop, sip something special from our cocktail lineup, including Transfusion, Margarita, Hurricane, and Baybreeze, plus two slushy flavors to keep the good times rolling. 💜💛💚

If you’re searching for things to do in Cornelius, a Lake Norman market to explore, or a Charlotte-area brewery event that blends community, craft beer, and celebration — this is your weekend plan. Bring your family and friends, don your best beads, and dress to impress. Saturdays like this don’t come around often, and you’ll want to say you were there!
