A masquerade mask is often worn to a Masquerade, a large dancing event, often having much to do with anonymity and formality. There is generally dinner and ballroom dancing.
However masquerade masks originate from Venice where they were worn many months of the year during the 13th century. They allowed lovers to meet without fear of recognition, business men and politicians to carry out their affairs anonymously and for all classes to be equal.
The downside to the wearing of masquerade masks for so many months of the year was the moral decline that occurred leading to a series of laws being passed to restrict their use.
A very popular masquerade scene is featured in the Phantom of the Opera movies.
