New Orleans is 1,000 miles from Milwaukee, but this Mardi Gras celebration is merely a bead’s toss away.
Join Wishmakers of Wisconsin on Friday, Feb. 17 at the Marcus Performing Arts Center for an evening of NOLA-style music, food, art and pageantry.
The event runs from 7 to 11 p.m. and includes music from the Extra Crispy Brass Band, silent auction, live artists, New Orleans appetizer stations (Beignets! King Cake!), casino tables, beads, masquerade masks, interactive entertainment and more.
This is a fundraiser for Make-A-Wish Wisconsin. Tickets are $100 and include two drink tickets, appetizers and beads. Guests must be 21 to attend. Scoop up your tickets here.
Feel free to wear your sparkliest outfits – or any purple, green and gold attire – along with masks, feathers and anything else that says, “laissez le bon temps rouler!”
