For it’s annual fundraiser, the West Windsor Arts Council (WWAC) has planned the party of the year inspired by the spectacular Brazilian Carnaval known around the world. On February 28, guests are invited to experience one night in Rio complete with Samba dancing to the members of Alo Brasil band, professional Samba performers in traditional costume; international food and drink including the Caipirinha, the national cocktail of Brazil, and exclusive silent auction items.

The West Windsor Arts Center’s old firehouse building will be transformed by in-house staff, volunteers and sponsors.

“The success of last year’s sold-out fundraising event told us we were on the right track,” said Executive Director Arin Black. “Our community is committed to our Arts Center and they want to have some fun! We want to continue to remind everyone that the Arts Center is here for great art and performance but also as a social outlet and community connection for the residents — Carnaval Magic is sure to do that!”
