Mardi Gras Ball

A festive, colorful and extravagant party where the guests get to dress up in gowns, over-the-top costumes, and masks? Count us in! This tradition takes us back to the beginning of Mardi Gras - way back to the times of Kings and Queens. Did you know that Louis Armstrong was once a "King" of the Zulu Krewe?
