    Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball: Beaufort, NC

    Beaufort Historic Site
    150.00
    07:00 PM - 10:00 PM on Fri, 20 Feb 2026

    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

    Join us for the Greenville Museum of Art’s premier annual fundraiser, the 2026 Art Ball, supporting exhibitions, educational programs, and community initiatives. This year’s theme, Textiles Through Time, invites guests to dress creatively in celebration of the tradition and innovation of textile arts. Textile-inspired works will also appear in the silent auction.

    Attendees will enjoy an elegant evening featuring fine dining, signature drinks, raffles, silent and live auctions, dancing, and live music from The Monterio Experience.

    GMoA is proud to debut the Nancy Monroe Artist of the Year Award, honoring outstanding artistic achievement in North Carolina and commemorating the legacy of sculptor Nancy Monroe (1931–2024). The inaugural 2026 honoree is George Crisman Snyder III, an artist, muralist, and contemporary quilter known for his bold geometric style. A special pop-up exhibition of Snyder’s work will be showcased during the event. Snyder, who preserves Southern quilting traditions through hand-pieced, hand-quilted works, continues to teach and create from his Ayden studio.

    Tickets: Members $135, Non-Members $185, Table of 8 $1,080.
