2025 Firemen's Ball
Mark your calendars for a night of food, music, and Mardi Gras magic! The Sherman Volunteer Fire Department is proud to host its Annual Firemen’s Ball on Saturday, August 2, right behind the firehouse. This year’s theme? Mardi Gras—so bring the beads, the boas, and your best table decorations.
Doors open at 4:30 p.m., giving guests time to mix, mingle, and soak in the festive atmosphere before a hearty roast beef dinner is served at 6:30 p.m. A delicious vegetarian Pasta Primavera will also be available.
Music for the evening will be provided by crowd favorite Nashville Drive, setting the tone for dancing and celebration all night long. There’ll also be a 50/50 raffle, door prizes, and a prize for the best decorated table, so bring your creativity and Mardi Gras spirit.
Follow the signs for parking and you will find a shuttle bus running regularly to ensure everyone gets to the party with ease.
Whether you're new to town or a longtime local, the Firemen’s Ball is the perfect chance to meet new neighbors, reconnect with old friends, and support the department that keeps Sherman safe year-round.
Come celebrate with us—Mardi Gras style!

Volunteer With SVFD
The Sherman Volunteer Fire Department has many opportunities for individuals to volunteer their time and talent. An important thing to remember is that there is a lot more to the fire department that just waking up at 3:00 in the morning and fighting fires. The department is always in need of individuals to help out with the operation and maintenance of the fire house as well as fundraising and administrative tasks in addition to firefighting and EMS personnel.
