If you want as close to an authentic Mardi Gras experience as possible in this land of uncultured Protestants, sweat it out at Dexter’s of Winter Park when the Brown Bag Brass Band takes the stage. The collective features some of Orlando’s best musicians letting loose in true NOLA style. Just keep your shirt on; it’s still Winter Park.
