Get ready for Mardi Gras
Missing Calgary Cares? Come to Mardi Gras – Le Carnaval Rouge
Calgary Cares was an unforgettable evening of enchantment and diversity in the fight against HIV/AIDS. AIDS Calgary Awareness Association (ACAA) is bringing the spirit of Calgary Cares back with Mardi Gras – Le Carnaval Rouge. Mardi Gras – Le Carnaval Rouge will bring diverse audiences together, uniting people in a celebration of life, courage, non-discrimination, laughter and love.
Adorn yourself in a mask and beads and join us on February 25th at this inaugural event for carnival fun. Your ticket to this 18+ event will not only open the doors to exciting and titillating entertainment, but it will be an investment in a caring and compassionate future for those living with HIV/AIDS in Calgary.
Creativity is mandatory at Le Carnaval Rouge. Take time to explore your wild side to decide what mask and costume you will wear and who you will be. This is an evening of
flamboyance, licentiousness, and outrageous costumes. Prizes will be awarded for best costume, best couple or duo, spiciest outfit, and embodiment of Mardi Gras.
Your ticket into Calgary’s hottest party this February gets you a sampling of Cajun cuisine, a drink ticket (perhaps a Hurricane in honour of Mardi Gras), hours of enticing entertainment and sensory overload, a tax receipt for $83, and the knowledge that you are making a difference in the lives of people and families impacted by HIV/AIDS.
Take an opportunity to go “shopping” at the silent auction table filled with vacation get-a-ways, artwork, autographed celebrity prints, and lotions, lubes and toys (oh my!). Or buy a balloon with an authentic Mardi Gras doubloon for a chance to win WestJet tickets for two.
Only 250 tickets are available for this event so get yours today!
