Rum Revelry

The opening of the Créoles du Monde exhibit at the West Baton Rouge Museum is sure to be the toast of the town with this night of Rum Revelry, a masquerade gala event. Guests are offered a taste of the Carnival season flavored by the new exhibit, which showcases vibrant Creole cultures from around the world. Revelers should prepare to be dazzled by the authentic Brazilian live performance of Casa Samba, rum tastings from Louisiana's original estate distilled rum from Cane Land, a tignon salon with headdress tying demonstration by Dianne Honore, and more. Carnival costumes are optional but encouraged--but why would you not want to dress for the festivities? Attendees must be 21 or older. 6 pm–8 pm. (225) 336-2422 or westbatonrougemuseum.com.
