NEW ORLEANS – On Saturday, Feb.8, 2020, the New Orleans Recreation Development (NORD) Commission will host its inaugural Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball for those with special needs.

Similar to traditional New Orleans Carnival krewes, a King and Queen of the Ball will be selected and crowned. Participants will have the opportunity to be exposed to a formal atmosphere and participate in an event they can enjoy during the Carnival season. This free event will feature food, music, photography and live entertainment. Formal attire is recommended but not required.
