Events

Ptolemy has a variety of events throughout the year from causal monthly Happy Hour's and our yearly Fall Party, to our Black Tie Coronation and Club Room.

Fundraiser: In 2006 we raised nearly $10,000 for our Carnival charity, First Works, with the 2nd Annual Ptolemy Poker Run. This event is always a Carnival favorite.

Fall Party: As our Coyote Ugly party, rated by Maxim Magazine as one of the best parties in the southeast US, or our Halloween Party, this party draws more than 200 partiers; members, prospects and former members welcome. Locations have included the Tennessee Brewery and Premier Palace, High Point Pinch and the Cadre Building.

Happy Hours: Hosted at different locations around Memphis, our Happy Hours give members a chance to meet new members and prospects and more importantly to blow off some steam.

Coronation: The formal announcement and presentation of our Queen, King and Duchesses at the University Club. This elegant event is always a blast. Come see if the Queen and Duchesses end up on stage again!

Club Room: Our legendary Carnival Week Theme party. Past Theme's have included "Caddyshack", Hawaiian Tiki, as well as Western and Hollywood Raiford's.

Parades: A family favorite; Liberty Bowl, St. Patrick's Day, Kemet Jubilee. Ride through downtown showering parade spectators with throws of all kind.

Other Member Events There are several other Member's only events during the year as well including Christmas Party and Annual Meeting.

Carnival Memphis Events (Crown & Scepter Coronation Ball, Princess Ball, Grand Carnival Ball, 5k Family Fun Walk): Highlighted by Carnival Week, Carnival Memphis has a host of events dedicated to raising money for the three Queen's Charities.

Other Krewe's Parties: In addition to the Ptolemy events there are a host of other Carnival Memphis Krewe's fundraisers, parties and outings as well.
