Mystic Krewe of the Druids’ Bal Masque XXXII: LEGENDS

Bal Masque XXXII, themed “Legends,” is the Mystic Krewe of the Druids’ annual Mardi Gras–style masquerade gala held at the historic Bama Theatre in Tuscaloosa, featuring elaborate costumes, live performances, and theatrical storytelling inspired by iconic cultural figures. The long-running community tradition blends pageantry, music, and immersive stage production while inviting guests to participate in a festive evening of celebration and creativity. Proceeds from the event benefit Five Horizons Health Services, supporting medical care, prevention programs, and community health services throughout West Alabama and East Mississippi. Attendees typically participate through Krewe membership, sponsorships, or ticketed seating, with themed attire encouraged and VIP experiences extending throughout Bal weekend. The Bal Masque continues to serve as both a signature Tuscaloosa cultural event and a major charitable fundraiser rooted in local tradition.
