This past Saturday night, krewes from the local area and members of the public gathered at the Bossier Civic Center for the kickoff to the 2015 Mardi Gras season at the annual 12th Night Celebration!

The event is hosted yearly by the Krewes of Gemini and Centaur, with all of the krewes of the Ark-La-Tex in attendance. Revelers ate, drank and were generally merry as they kicked of the 2015 season of Carnivale to the sounds of Chicken on the Bone from New Orleans. In addition, the royalty of the krewes were introduced.
