Bring your dancing shoes and wear a simple or fabulous MARDI GRAS MASK. Affordable comfortable, decorative masks are available in our online store (Go to Shop). Or make or purchase your own, traditional or creative costume mask. But please do get creative. Have fun with the theme! It is well past time to move your body, and unleash your creative spirit.

Pay sliding scale ($10-$25) at the door to cover our expenses, that also pays for someone else to get in for free. No one is turned away for lack of funds.
