Save the date and get ready to dance! The 24th Annual Spring Carnival Ball is Saturday, April 17, 2010 from 8 p.m. to midnight at Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxet in Cranston, Rhode Island.
With the mission to raise funds to benefit the Institute's programs and services for immigrants and refugees in Rhode Island, the Spring Carnival Ball has the reputation of being one of the Ocean State's longest running and most diverse parties of the year, renowned for its quality international entertainment, high energy, and a crowd of more than 1,000 attendees.
This year's performers include Grupo Fantasia, the 2009 winner for Best Latin Band at the New England Urban Music Awards, Big NAZO, who recently peformed at the 2010 Winter Olympics, the What Cheer? Brigade, voted Best of Rhode Island by Rhode Island Monthly, and many more!
All proceeds will benefit the International Institute Rhode Island's programs and services for immigrants and refugees in Rhode Island. We encourage Festive attire, costumes, and national dress because we are bringing back the costume contest!
