Let the good times roll and bring Bourbon Street to Cincinnati at the Cincinnati Art Museum’s Arty Mardi Gras Party. Dance to live Cajun and Zydeco music, feast on New Orleans-style hors d’oeuvres and drink at the cash bar before your night in the Big Easy.

The Museum will transform The Terrace Café into a French Market, where you can dine on authentic beignets and enjoy café au lait. A palm reader, magician, stilt-walking jester, living statue and caricature artist add even more traditional fun to the celebrations.

The party is from 8-11 p.m. and everyone 21 and older is invited. Admission is $10 for CAM members, $15 non-members.

Tickets include a drink at the cash bar, hors d’oeuvres, café au lait, a Mardi Gras mask and beads. Reservations not required.
