Get ready to dance the night away—John Duff and his talented backup dancers will get you moving, and SRQ Beats will be spinning the hottest tracks all night long from the DJ booth.
Grand Carnival is known for its jaw-dropping décor, delicious lite bites, and amazing cocktails, so you’re in for a treat. It’s going to be an unforgettable evening, and we’re so excited to share it with you!

Your ticket includes delicious lite bites and an open bar! The lite bites are generously donated by local restaurants, featuring a variety of tasty appetizers and desserts. We encourage you to sample a little from each restaurant and savor the wonderful array of flavors. And don't forget to support these local gems by visiting their establishments throughout the year!
Our bar vendor, Dive Wine & Spirits, is providing an excellent selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, served by a top-notch team. Be sure to show them some love and swing by Dive Wine & Spirits whenever you can!
