Laissez les bons temps rouler! Uprising’s annual Ball of the Wild is heading to the bayou for a night filled with incredible, authentic food by NOLA Catering, live music, dancing, games, and a whole lot of Mardi Gras spirit—all in support of human trafficking and exploitation prevention across Wyoming.

Join us Saturday, January 23, 2027, at the Sheridan County Fairgrounds for an evening inspired by the sights, sounds, and flavors of New Orleans. Wander through tasting stations featuring a variety of authentic New Orleans and Creole classics, explore hands-on booths with games and activities, grab a drink from the bar, and hit the dance floor with John Roberts y Pan Blanco, bringing hours of high-energy Mardi Gras, Boogaloo, and Spanish Quarter-style music.

Your $99 ticket includes access to the evening’s tasting stations, entertainment and activities, plus a complimentary Hurricane (non-alcoholic option available).

Come hungry. Come ready to dance. Come ready to make an impact.

Proceeds from the Ball of the Wild Bayou support Uprising’s year-round work to prevent human trafficking and exploitation, including youth prevention education, professional training, parent and caregiver education, and community outreach across Wyoming.

Early bird tickets are available through October 31. Sponsorship opportunities are also available for businesses and individuals who want to make an even bigger impact.
