2022 Mardi Gras Costume Ball & Contest

Mardi Gras WAS WONDERFUL

The Hot Springs Jazz Society presented the 10th Annual Mardi Gras Ball and Costume Contest on Saturday night, May 21st, 2022 at the Hot Springs Hotel Ballroom.

After having to cancel the 2021 Mardi Gras completely, due to Covid, we were back with King Richard and Queen Beth for a Royal Celebration. Great costumes abounded and several won prize money after an applause judging.

This year we provided Mardi Gras food such as Gumbo, Shrimp & Grits, Muffuletta Sliders, Bread Pudding and more with, of course, adult libations for sale.

Back was One of Your Favorites – Restaurant Certificates packed in envelopes for sale at $40.00 per envelope – guaranteed to be worth $50.00 or more.

Silent Auction with great items for bid, and Dancing all night.
