Mystery and
excitement await you at A Night in Venice V: A Masked
Ball, a benefit dinner dance with live and silent auctions
presented by the Lubeznik Center for the Arts, in Michigan
City. Enjoy passed hors d'oeuvres and cocktails while
viewing the extraordinary silent auction items. While
seated for a Venetian inspired dinner offer your bids on
the live auction items which feature a private get-away in
a splendid new house in a Costa Rica, tickets to Milan
Fashion Week, tickets to the preview and entrance to
private parties at Art Basel in Miami, and other unique
trips and experiences. After purchasing your dream
vacation or exciting experience make your way to the
tented dance floor for live music by the Absolute Music
Dance Band. Win a prize for the best mask. Get into the
festive spirit, dress in your best finery, and assemble
your fabulous disguise!
The Venetian Carnival is a perfect marriage of culture,
tradition and wild celebration. Carnival (originally "carnevale"),
comes from Latin - "farewell to meat." This boisterous
festival marks the beginning of Lent, the time before
Easter when Catholics refrain from eating meat. The
tradition of masquerading, for which Carnival has become
known, is actually much older than Christianity - its
roots in a Roman fertility festival where masks were worn
by citizens and slaves alike.
