Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball
Party like its 1776
The Beaufort Historic Site is proud to host Beaufort’s annual Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball. Drawing inspiration from the 18th century, featuring a red, white, and blue theme in honor of America’s 250th birthday it is the spirit of 1776, the Carnival of Venice, and New Orleans Mardi Gras rolled into one over-the-top evening! Guests are encouraged to wear costumes that reflect 1700s-era characters. Tickets include an open beer and wine bar, great food, and live music by the amazing Hustle Souls Band. The costume ball kicks off Beaufort, North Carolina’s popular Mardi Gras weekend of revelry on Friday evening, February 20th.
