Friday Musicale celebrates 130 years with Mardi Gras good time
Julie Green-Smith with Brittany Cato

Mardi Gras beads, funny hats, and colorful masks were the attire of choice for nearly 200 guests during Friday Musicale’s annual fundraiser Feb. 8 in Riverside.

The event was reminiscent of a grand picnic as guests selected dinner from two food trucks and then bounced between two venues – Friday Musicale’s main auditorium and L’Engle Hall next door – for their musical pleasure. Featured entertainment for the evening was J.B. Scott’s Swingin’ All Stars band and Junco Royale. The evening also included dancing, dessert, and a silent auction. Money raised from the event benefited Friday Musicale’s free-to-the-public concert season, which is celebrating its 130th year, as well scholarships to aspiring young musicians and community outreach to local schools.
