The Beaufort Historical Association is excited to present Beaufort's annual Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball. This year’s ball draws inspiration from the 18th-century featuring a red, white, and blue theme in honor of America’s 250th birthday. It’s the spirit of 1776, Carnival of Venice, and New Orleans Mardi Gras rolled into one over-the top celebration! Guests are encouraged to break away from the traditional purple, green, and gold and instead celebrate with imaginative costumes and colors that reflect 1700s era patriotic characters or emblematic figures. Tickets include an open wine and beer bar, great food, and live music by the amazing Hustle Souls stage band. The costume ball kicks off Beaufort, North Carolina's popular Mardi Gras weekend of revelry on Friday evening, February 20th from 7PM-10PM.
*All proceeds benefit Beaufort Historic Site services, maintenance, and educational programs
