The City of Vicksburg and the Vicksburg Convention Center (VCC) have announced the Fourth Annual Jester’s Ball will take place Friday, Feb. 28.

“Guests will be treated to an evening of music, delicious food and fun,” VCC officials said. “Lots of throws and prizes will be included as well. The highlight of the evening will be announcing the 2025 Mardi Gras Jester.”

Jester nominees have been submitted by the Ball committee and an online poll will be created for the public to vote for their favorite Jester beginning January 15, organizers aid. Jester nominees have been chosen based on their community involvement
and their “tireless efforts to be champions for Vicksburg.”

A limited number of VIP tables (seat 8) are available for $400 and include a champagne reception before the ball sponsored by Julie Patton Johnson-Keller Williams, VIP beads, and preferred table seating. Individual VIP tickets are available for the reception and ball for $50 each. All tickets will include a sampling of heavy hors d’oeuvres and a full night of entertainment featuring the sounds of Doctor Zarr’s Amazing Funk Monster.

General admission tickets are $40. VIP Tickets will not be available after Thursday, Feb. 20. Tickets will be available at ticketmaster.com and the VCC Box office beginning Monday, Jan. 20. Anyone who previously purchased a table can call or
email VCC Executive Director Donna Gray at 601-636-3620 or VCCDirector@vicksburg.org and reserve tables before tickets are on public sale.
