*6-9pm | *This event is for Bridgerton fans, Austenites, and anyone who has ever dreamed of attending a ball! Upon entering a ballroom full of flowers to the sound of string music by the Pan String Quartet (Baton Rouge), guests will leave the mundane everyday and escape to England as it was in the year 1812. There will be instructed dancing (including Hyacinth’s dance from Bridgerton), opportunities for professional photos, plus tables of delicious snacks, traditional jellies, and punch. To maintain the atmosphere, Regency attire is highly recommended. Otherwise, the dress code is semi-formal. At the end of the night, the winners of our Costume Promenade will be recognized and the cake will be cut. Tickets $100 (Admission includes free parking and security) | Ages 15+
