Chambliss Center for Children‘s 12th annual Mardi Gras Gala took place at the Chattanoogan Hotel. The event featured New Orleans-inspired food and drinks, such as Hurricane cocktails and traditional foods. Guests also enjoyed Dixieland jazz and a DJ in the “French Quarter,” as well as a “French Market” silent auction. The 2024 Mardi Gras king and queen, Tony and Pinky Young, were crowned and then led attendees in a parade.
