Description:
The Blue Mountain School presents the 4th Annual Mardi Gras Costume Ball at Floyd EcoVillage's Celebration Hall on Saturday, February 9th. The Mardi Gras Costume Bass features music, prizes, silent auction, food by Oddfella’s Cantina & Tapas with plenty of New Orleans inspired cuisine and beer by Blue Mountain Brewery, wine from Republic of Floyd, & Buffalo Mountain Kombucha.

Music Line-Up:
- Opening Act: Playing together for the first time featuring Janiah Allen (Alliens), John Hill (Materia Project), Cam McLaughlin (Alliens, Duality), "EZ" Eddie McClain (HopeHop) and Jamiel Allen (Alliens, Blue Ridge Dub Alliance). This will be one of the hottest debut performances southwest Virginia has ever seen, so don’t miss it.

- Spoon Fight: Intriguing lyrics and melodic, blues-heavy guitar solos are a hallmark of Spoon Fight’s music. Their fresh, dynamic sound is the result of three long-time friends (two of whom are brothers) playing together since they first picked up their instruments years ago.

- Headliners: Lagniappe, includes a list of local luminaries, namely Kerry Hurley from the Fat Daddy Blues Band, the Blue Ridge Blues Society and 101.5 The Music Place’s Blues With A Feeling; Kris Hodges—the man behind FloydFest; The Kind’s Tom Snediker; and Dylan Locke—formerly of Yams From Out Of Space and now the Jefferson Center’s Artistic Director.

The band Lagniappe will be awarding prizes from the stage for costumes, dancing, and anything else they come up with! For the very first time, we’re giving away some awesome door prizes and Floyd's PFLAG will have prizes for best male and female cross-dresser and best Rainbow. Best of all, Oddfella’s Cantina & Tapas is awarding a prize for the best impersonation of Tom Ryan. Wear your best Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses!

There will also be a Kiddy Gras Pajama Party! Let your kids party while you do! Just downstairs from the main event, children ages 3 to 12 can enjoy face painting, games, and plenty of fun activities or take a rest in a quiet room. The cost is $15 for the first child, $10 for second, and $5 for subsequent kids.
