with Too Loose Cajun Zydeco Band The Mysti Krewe of Nimbus invites you to the TENTH Annual Portland Mardi Gras Ball! Celebrate Carnivale season during our gloomy winter months with an evening of music, dancing, masquerade, costumes, and much more. It’s the most authentic Louisiana Mardi Gras experience in the Pacific Northwest. We’ll turn the Wonder Ballroom into a magical party full of mystery. Make sure to join the costume contest, witness the crowing of the new King and Queen, enjoy some King Cake, and dance the night away to live music. And as always, the Krewe will provide plenty of lagniappe. Laissez les bon temps rouler! The Ball is 21 and over only. Website: www.PortlandMardiGras.com About the Mysti Krewe of Nimbus: The Mysti Krewe of Nimbus is a social club of 100+ Louisiana culture lovers who understand “what it means to miss New Orleans,” as Louis Armstrong sang. Growing from a simple desire for an authentic Mardi Gras experience, the social club has quickly become a public presence in Portland, second lining through the Waterfront Blues Fest, marching in the Starlight Parade, and leading the annual Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday parade on Mississippi Avenue.
