MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — King cake, parades, and beads are some of the most popular parts of the Mardi Gras celebration. The organizations that hold parades also hold balls for their members where drinking and dancing happen all night long.
HOW DO I GET AN INVITE?
Most Mardi Gras balls are invite-only. Sometimes, tickets can be extremely difficult to get unless you’re a member of an organization or know a member. Get in contact with a member of an organization and see if you can purchase your ticket(s) through them.
