The evening will begin with drinks and appetizers, followed by a seated dinner and a variety of tasty desserts. Standard ticket holders will enjoy unlimited beer and wine, while VIP Guests enjoy signature cocktails at the premium full bar, along with an exclusive presentation of the Plaza’s architectural transformation plan with a champagne toast. Step into a world of mystery and revelry at our enchanting “Mardi Gras Masquerade” that will conclude with a night of dancing to the sounds of The Ziggy Band – one of Houston’s top high energy party bands.
