Soulard has hosted Mardi Gras in the neighborhood for about a quarter of a century now with numerous Mardi Gras balls hosted by a variety of Mardi Gras Krewes. Sadly, for the last five years, there has not been a Mardi Gras ball in the Soulard neighborhood. In New Orleans there are at least 30+ Mardi Gras balls. We believe Soulard deserves at least one so we plan to knock it out of the court with the Vices and Virtues Ball.
The Soulard Restoration Group’s Beautification Committee, a not for profit 501C3 organization, is coming to the rescue. This will be an “over the top” Mardi Gras Ball. Tables are sold out, 2nd Tier admission @ 8:30 is available which includes ; costume contest, crowning of Royalty, Silent Auction, tarot/psychic, open bar, music of Millenium and dancing. Full costume/black-tie with mask required. Please email VandVball@soulard.org for full details. All of the proceeds from this ball will be returned to the neighborhood in beautification projects. Please contact Luann Denten, Vices and Virtues Mardi Gras Ball Chairwoman, at 314-852-2771.
