Mardi Gras Costume Ball & Contest
February 6, 2016 9:24 p.m.
Previous incarnations of the Mardi Gras Costume Ball & Contest had taken place in the ballroom of Hot Springs' Austin Hotel. With that establishment — now the Hotel Hot Springs — being renovated, the 2016 version moved to Horner Hall of the Hot Springs Convention Center. The Hot Springs Jazz Society's Krewe of Ouachita once again hosted the Jan. 30 benefit.
