Mardigrasinc.com offers the following description:

To celebrate the magic and merriment of the Mardi Gras season, The Honorable Mayor and Mrs. Francis G. Slay will hold court at St. Louis City Hall for the 9th annual Mayor’s Ball, a Mardi Gras Masquerade.

The enchantment begins with City Hall itself.  For your pleasure, our dutiful court spends months preparing to ensure historic City Hall is a Mardi Gras spectacular.  You’ll hear the sounds of live bands- both Cajun and Dance.  You’ll mingle with our Mayor’s Ball jesters while you partake in superb cuisine and taste drinks of the season.  Adorned with your Mayor’s Ball Mardi Gras beads, you’ll join or feast your eyes upon the Grand Parade March.  There will be surprises too, all this while your presence at this charitable event supports outstanding local projects. Be a part of an evening you won’t soon forget. The Mayor’s Ball Awaits You!!
