Mardi Gras comes to Sarasota

The
elegant local social group Sarasota Singles Society brings Mardi Gras to
Sarasota at 6 p.m. on Wed., March 12 at the Sarasota Yacht Club (1100 John
Ringling Blvd.). Tickets are $68 per person including dinner, tax and gratuity

or by phone at 504-4064. 



“You
will lose yourself to the entire party spirit as we parade throughout the club
led by our musicians,” said Sherry Janes, founder. “Imagine you are on Bourbon
Street as you arrive in your colorful carnival type attire to bright, festive
decorations and musicians to complete the party atmosphere!”



The
event is a decadent New Orleans-style party with musicians, dancing and a New
Orleans style dinner buffet including jambalaya, blackened redfish and more. A
mardi gras masquerade costume contest with great prizes rounds out the night;
attendees are encouraged to wear masks or colorful attire.
