Mardi Gras Dinner for a Cause

About This Event

Laissez les bons temps rouler! Join us for a night where great food, great music, and doing good all come together at Chef Lino’s PRIME.

For one night only, PRIME transforms into a Mardi Gras celebration—complete with a custom Cajun-inspired menu crafted by Chef Lino himself, bursting with bold flavors and Southern flair. Pair that with live jazz and brass music, a lively dining room, and a festive, come-as-you-are vibe, and you’ve got a party worth planning your week around.

There’s no program. No speeches. No pressure.
Just clinking glasses, swinging rhythms, and a room full of people enjoying an incredible meal for an even better reason.

Throughout the evening, you’ll also get a glimpse into what’s ahead for Catholic Charities of Bakersfield—including plans for our upcoming buildling project and how this next chapter will allow us to serve even more families in our community.

And here’s the best part: 50% of every plated ticket goes directly to Catholic Charities of Bakersfield, supporting food assistance, housing help, and vital services for local families who need it most. Every bite gives back.

✨ Eat well.
🎶 Sway to the music.
💜 Give back—without missing a beat.

Come hungry, come festive, and come ready to celebrate for a cause.

Let the good times (and good deeds) roll!

Two Reservation Times Available:
5:30 pm or 7:00 pm
