By royal decree, King Marcus III invites you to Salt Lake’s Mardi Gras Gala 2018 at the County Library — an event that sold out last year.

Wear a mask and come dressed to the nines for this Cajun-flavored brouhaha, complete with traditional Nawlins’ eats, beats, beads and contests.

“The whole experience is just really a feast for the senses,” Library Event Coordinator David Woodruff said. “The food is awesome, we’re going to have a live band, and we’ll crown the kind and queen of Mardi Gras. You really can’t describe it.”

Salt Lake’s Mardi Gras Gala 2018 is free and open to all adults (aged 18 or older). Tickets to this free event are required, and are available atslcolibrary.org/mardigras.

When: Friday, Feb. 2 from 7-10 pm
Where: Library’s Viridian Event Center, 8030 South 1825 West
