MIX: Masquerade

The first Friday of each month, the Cleveland Museum of Art hosts its popular Mix at CMA event. The museum stays open later than normal for the occasion, which features dance, drink and a theme-based program. Tonight's event celebrates Mardi Gras and Carnival, with a festive New Orleans vibe. DJ Walk and Da Land Brass Band will be on hand for the event, and guests are invited to make their own masks. Tickets are $10 in advance, or $15 at the door, but CMA members get in for free. The party runs from 6 to 10 p.m. (Niesel)
