The long-awaited Mardi Gras Ball finally took place in Dalian on the night of March 11th, and it was the biggest celebration of the season. The event was held at the stunning Grand Hyatt Dalian, and guests enjoyed a night of dining, music, and dancing.
Mardi Gras is a popular US cultural tradition, based on the Carnival, a celebration that dates back thousands of years to pagan spring and fertility festivals.
The ballroom doors opened with a welcome song, and the night kicked off with the opening ceremony by our amazing emcees, Timothy Mitchell and Michelle Mai. Greetings started by welcoming to the stage the gracious host for the Mardi Gras Ball, Grand Hyatt Dalian, and inviting Jacky Qi for a welcome speech. Timothy Mitchell and Michelle Mai invited AmCham China Northeast Chair Ladon Ghalili to welcome all the guests, sponsors, officials, and representatives from the local government and U.S. Consulate in Shenyang, as well as other chambers and recognize our sponsors, without whom the night would not have been possible.
