Our beautiful desert summer nights are officially here. For those looking to get out and dance the night away, stop by Madame Harlequin’s Royal Ball. Held at the Joshua Tree Retreat Center, this free community event celebrates the full moon and Summer Solstice. It will also feature the public debut of Madame Harlequin’s new project Janis from Beyond, a band honoring the music of Janis Joplin, after which a funky dance party will keep guests grooving into the night.
The theme for the evening is Fancy Hippie; the hosts will crown Queen, King, and Royal Them of the Ball with a prize for Best Dressed, with crowns sponsored by Miss G Designs. A 21 plus event, the Royal Ball will include a community feast table with a cake by the Joshua Tree Cakery; beverages will be available for purchase.
The Royal Ball runs tonight, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Joshua Tree Retreat Center, located at 59700 29 Palms Highway in Joshua Tree.
