Parks fans came to play at Scott & Zelda’s Bad Luck Ball last year. This year’s event is on Friday, September 13 . The year is 1924 and Paris is intoxicated with Olympic fever. Athletes warm up in the parks. Artists crowd the late-night cafes. A golden night lies ahead.
All proceeds raised create good luck for Saint Paul parks, funding park improvements and piloting new community programs.
Inspiration: Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald held their Bad Luck Ball on Friday the 13th 100 years ago. You can expect amazing vintage music with Miss Myra and the Moonshiners, a French inspired family dinner, and towering, golden croquembouche by master pâtissier Marc Hue for dessert.
WHEN: Friday, Sept 13, 2024; 6:00-8:30 p.m. (VIP “Olympic Reception” at 5:15 p.m. for sponsors and very invested park supporters)
WHERE: The Commodore, 79 Western Ave N, Saint Paul, MN 55102
