EMLINE BALL 2026

The EMLINE Ball is an annual Mardi Gras celebration founded by James Mayes of the EMLINE luxury brand, honoring New Orleans culture and its creative leaders. In partnership with Kristin Meyers of Like Minds Dine Productions, the Ball features a distinctive awards experience paying homage to the city’s tastemakers and curators.
