The Hot Springs Jazz Society presents Party Gras 24, formerly known as The Mardi Gras Ball and Costume Contest.
Did you know that the Hot Springs Jazz Society (HSJS) is one of the oldest non-profit organizations in Hot Springs? The Jazz Society has been carrying out its mission to “preserve, present, and perpetuate jazz” in the Hot Springs area since 1992!
With that in mind, HSJS will present Party Gras 24, the only annual fundraiser event for the organization. The proceeds from this event will sponsor high school student’s tuition at Jazz Camp for the summer of 2024. The Jazz Society will also use the funds to produce the 32nd annual JazzFest, Dancing in the Streets, on Saturday of Labor Day weekend 2024. In addition, proceeds will benefit the educational program, Arkansas Artform Series held each month at the Garland County Library.
Party Gras will be held at the Vapors Live!, 315 Park Avenue, on Friday, January 26, 2024. There will be live music, dancing, a Silent Auction, a cajun dinner, a casino, prizes, and much more! You are invited to join in this annual event. Come in costume! It will be a night of revelry and merry-making for a great cause.Tickets are available at VaporsLive.com. VIP – $70. General Admission – $50. Doors open to VIP ticket holders at 6 PM. VIP attendees will be guaranteed preferential seating and dinner served exclusively for that group before the general public is allowed in at 7 PM.
