--Feb. 16-March 4: MARDI GRAS GALVESTON Every year half a million revelers crowd onto this 32-mile-long island near Houston to celebrate the run-up to Lent.

The theme this year is "Rainforests of the World," but visitors should expect more leopard-skin suits than political messages. Over 50 bands--including once-were-bigs like Kool & the Gang and Three Dog Night--will perform on three stages. mardigrasgalveston.com; 888-425-4753

--Feb. 23-March 2: ETA BLUEGRASS CRUISE Pickin', grinnin'... and tannin'? That's the idea behind this themed tour of the Caribbean.
