Burien's Mardi Gras continues Saturday, March 5 from 2 p.m. to 1 a.m. with a Scavenger Hunt, live music, Mardi Gras-style food specials, drink specials and beads.

On March 5, revelers get drink specials, plus beads, at host restaurants and bars by buying a Hurricane drink glass or wine glass that lights up and is embossed with "First Annual Mardi Gras Celebration 2011 Burien, WA." The glasses are available at host restaurants and bars for $10. A Hurricane glass gets the holder drink specials at any host restaurant or bar for just $5 and beer specials for $3. A wine glass entitles the holder to wine specials for $5.

Individuals or teams in the Scavenger Hunt will search throughout Burien for the Mardi Gras King's crown based on clues provided during the hunt. To receive the first clue electronically via texting or email, participants must sign up online by 3 p.m. at www.discoverburien.com.

To get the first clue live, sign up by 3:55 p.m. at the Mark Restaurant & Bar, 914 S.W. 152nd St., where the initial clue will be provided in person.

At 4 p.m., the first clue will be texted, emailed or provided live to Scavenger Hunt participants. The person to find the King's crown first will return the crown to the King. In return, the King will reward the finder with a treasure trove of prizes from local businesses and Mardi Gras sponsors. All participants will, of course, receive beads. There is no fee to participate in the Scavenger Hunt.

Live music will be on tap at most host restaurants and bars.

Host establishments are Bison Creek Pizza & Pub, CC's Lounge, Elliott Bay Brewhouse & Pub, La Costa, Mark Restaurant & Bar, Mick Kelly's Irish Pub & Restaurant, 909, Piranha Joe's, Sidestreet Kitchen and Vino Bello.
Elliott Bay will present music all day to celebrate the brewpub's anniversary in Burien.
