Got an Outrageous Costume?

The Carrollwood Cultural Center, 4537 Lowell Road, is hosting a masquerade ball from 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22.

Deviating from the event’s elegant format of the last two years, party-goers are encouraged to arrive in your "craziest, goofiest, scariest, silliest, most-outrageous costume” suitable for a family-friendly venue.

The event will include a costume contest, light hors d'oeuvres, a cash bar and live performance by Ricky Wilcox and The Moonsnakes, a local four-piece rock and roll band that will play Beatles’ music as well as a selection of original tunes. Members of The Moonsnakes include Wilcox, Rick Boucher on drums, Jim Brown on bass and Steve Connelly on guitar.

Advanced tickets are $10 for members and $15 for non-members. Tickets purchased the night of the event are $12 for members and $17 for non-members. Tickets may be purchased on-line, at box office, or by calling (813) 269-1310.
