Billie Zizi and the gypsy jive

Shaw Convention Center Edmonton , Edmonton

Come One, Come All! On May 9, 2014, you and your guests will be immersed in a big-top experience like no other; one that will transport you to the romantic age of bygone dustbowl carnivals. Like stepping into a storybook, you are sure to come alive within the dazzling confines of CASA Carnival!

Our celebration will open with effervescent cocktails and roving performances in a bustling carnival environment. Mingle with more than 500 fellow revelers amid impossible feats of magic, mysterious fortune tellers and intimate circus performances while your guests sample tantalizing midway treats and examine the tempting lots to be found on our auction tables. For a sweet and eclectic take on dustbowl jazz, sway along to original music, swing standards and fits of balkan insanity courtesy of Edmonton based Billie Zizi and the Gypsy Jive! You will share in the philosophy, "eating is a discovery" with award winning Chef Simon Smotkowicz' three course feast worthy of applause.

Ringmaster Fred Keating will lead you through an enchanted evening of performances and accolades of CASA’s work in the community, and auctioneer Garry Meyer will direct a thrilling live auction experience where your guests have the opportunity to bring home lavish prizes in support of children’s mental health.

The evening’s festivities conclude with our finale act, a sumptuous cocktail lounge complete with captivating live entertainment where remaining merrymakers may bask in songs and drink and savour the magic of the evening well into nightfall.

“The finest of pleasures are always the unexpected ones.”

― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circu
