AMCHAM’s Winter “HOPE” Ball celebrates a new HOPE with 2 related yet different experiences. Turkey with stuffing, a Bourbon Street replica, and plenty of Sazerac, with Dixie and Jazz playing in the background, are all intended to provide you with a “Thanksgiving in New Orleans” feel, the first of 2 experiences

Upon arrival at the Grand Ballroom, the second experience, the “Hopeful Carnival,” can be seen and felt everywhere. The 270-degree LED shows the first Message of HOPE with Thai-style Lantern festival images. Each table is decorated with fun masks, flamboyant feathers, and colorful beads to bring positivity and HOPE. An eclectic Dinner ranges from pub food to Etouffee sauce. It draws its inspiration from Chinese New Year to Carnival and Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Each course is named to reflect HOPE and optimism through its ingredient or cooking method. Brazilian Samba and Chinese New Year Lion Dance are here to dance in even more HOPE for us.

Those who attended the AMCHAM Winter HOPE Ball ate, drank, and danced their way until the next morning to usher in NEW HOPE together!
