Looking to experience Mardi Gras right here on the Cape?
Cape Symphony Presents at Aplaya Kitchen + Tiki Bar for The Hot Tamale Brass Band on Sunday, September 20, 2026!

Amidst the tropical oasis that is Aplaya, The Hot Tamale Brass Band will take you on a musical excursion through New Orleans jazz, festive Mardi Gras, funky second line parades, New Orleans jazz funeral traditions, and more! Performing all over Boston since the 90s, The Hot Tamales will have you up and dancing. The band frequently performs at Boston Red Sox pre-game shows, local clubs, parades, parties, or anywhere that you can fit a tuba.

While vibing along to the brass band, enjoy a cocktail or snack from Aplaya’s mouthwatering menu of Filipino dishes.
In Tagalog, a major language of the Philippines, Aplaya means “beach” or “coast.” Aplaya Kitchen + Tiki Bar offers a vibrant and delicious Filipino menu with amazing tiki cocktails in an outdoor setting, right in downtown Chatham.

See you there!
