So, have you ever been to a Mardi Gras Ball? Outside of New Orleans and Louisiana, an authentic ball can be hard to find. But this year, you're in luck.
The Mysti Krewe of Nimbus (yes, a real Portland Mardi Gras krewe) presents Portland's First Annual Mardi Gras Ball on Saturday, March 5th, from 7:30 to 11 pm at the Norse Hall (111 NE 11th Avenue in Portland).

Taking the Louisiana State Song, You Are My Sunshine as its theme, the 2011 Ball will feature the music of Steve Kerin and Atomic Gumbo with special guest DK Stewart, plus the Too Loose Cajun Band featuring New Orleans’ own Reggie Houston. There will be Zydeco and Cajun dance lessons preceding the live music that begins at 9 p.m. Authentic Louisiana fare from Swamp Shack, along with King Cake, and an exclusive souvenir medallion will be provided to all attendees. Costumes, masks, a parade, and the crowning of a Mardi Gras King and Queen will round out the festivities.
Tickets are available for $25 each and on sale at Tickets Oregon.
