Mardi Gras Ladies Night Out

Downtown Stillwater will host a Ladies Night Out on Thursday, February 18, 5 - 8 p.m. The theme for the evening will be Mardi Gras and Stillwater’s Main Street will be bustling with Bourbon Street frivolity including live jazz, food and drink specials and light hearted entertainment including card readers, fortune tellers and magic fingers massages. Area merchants will offer great discounts as well as activities like cooking and craft demonstrations and valuable prizes including the grand prize - a $100 Gift Certificate redeemable at area merchants.

For each $10 spent during the evening, ladies will receive a strand of Mardi Gras Beads, which will give them a chance to win the Grand Prize.

Swag bags filled with a "queens ransom" of deals, samples and freebies will be handed out to the first 50 ladies. Visitors may pick up their first set of beads and a map and brochure of activities and offerings at Darn Knit Anyway, located in the Brick Alley Building at 423 South Main Street or Valley Bookseller, 217 Main Street North. Prize drawings will take place at 8 p.m. at Maison Galleria, 223 Main Street South.

February 18th marks the first of four Ladies Nights celebrations planned for the year. The other dates are May 20, August 19 and November 18.
