Hot Springs Jazz Society Presents Mardi Gras in May

Delta Brass Express will keep the dance floor busy at Hot Springs Jazz Society’s Mardi Gras Costume Ball & Contest on May 21.

Having fun is what the Hot Springs Jazz Society loves to do. Have fun and present great jazz music. In order to support free jazz concerts and scholarships for Arkansas music students, the Jazz Society is presenting its only annual fundraiser, the Mardi Gras Costume Ball & Contest on Saturday, May 21 at 6 pm in Hotel Hot Springs, 305 Malvern Avenue.

For the fun part, Delta Brass Express will be playing all evening behind the largest dance floor in Hot Springs. Delta Brass Express presents the best of the 60s, 70s, and 80s rock and roll, perfect for an evening of dancing. But that is not all the fun for the evening.

Event sponsor, Lara’s Jewelry & Design, is raffling off a precious stone Mardi Gras Pendant specially created for the Mardi Gras and worth $1,650. The highlight of the evening is an elaborate Costume Contest with cash prizes totaling $1,000.

Also planned is a spectacular silent auction of weekend get-a-ways, golf outings, and unique fishing trips, as well as envelopes with certificates from favorite restaurants, each envelope guaranteed worth more than the donation. A Cajun buffet included with admission and specialty drinks will additionally be available.

 The Hot Springs Jazz Society invites you to join Her Royal Highness, Beth Gipe, Queen Jazz IX, and His Royal Highness, Richard Gipe, King Jazz IX with their Duchess and Duke, Sonja and Ike Eisenhauer on Saturday, May 21 for only $70 per person (includes Cajun Buffett). OR, get your friends together for a Reserved Dance Floor Table of 10 for $700. Info and tickets can be found at www.hsjazzsociety.org or by calling 501-627-2425.

The Hot Springs Jazz Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit volunteer organization “dedicated to perpetuating, promoting, and preserving Jazz Music, an original American art form.” The Jazz Society is funded in part by the Arkansas Arts Council, Hot Springs Advertising and Promotion Commission, and Elisabeth Wagner Foundation, along with numerous other corporate and private sponsors.
