The online box office is open to purchase tickets for Brandon's Foundation's fourth annual Mardi Gras MASKerade, featuring Cincinnati party band Robin Lacy & DeZydeco! This fun-filled fundraising event takes place March 2, 2019 - the Saturday before Ash Wednesday. This year's event moves to The Phoenix  (downtown, 812 Race Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202) from 7:30 p.m. to Midnight. Valet parking will be available or there is an adjacent parking garage at 11 W. 9^th Street.

This event gets bigger and better every year! The music of Robin Lacy & DeZydeco will keep attendees on the dance floor until midnight. Back by popular demand, tarot card/psychic readers will discuss guests’ pasts and predict their futures, and the photo booth will again snap individual and group keepsake photos! Don’t forget to dress in costume if you'd like to compete contest for the honor of being crowned Queen and King of the MASKerade, although any attire is welcome.  

Other highlights include a silent auction with a variety of fabulous items, fun and exciting prize-filled raffle baskets, split the pot, the Benn Banks Mardi Gras Duck Pond - a wine (sponsored by Constellation Brands) and craft beer raffle where everyone is a winner, and more! A signature Mardi Gras beverage can be enjoyed in the Foundation’s souvenir Hurricane Glass.
