2013

Last night, following their children's parade at Pierre Bossier Mall, the Krewe of Aesclepius hosted the annual Upstate Party at their den. All of the area krewes are invited to attend this last hurrah to the Mardi Gras season before the final closing ceremonies with Father Provenza on the Texas Street Bridge.

Mardi Gras is sadly coming to a close in the Ark-La-Tex tomorrow with the arrival of Fat Tuesday, but that doesn't mean the fun has come to an end! The Krewe of Aesclepius is hosting their annual children's parade at 7pm at Pierre Bossier Mall.

With the Krewe of Gemini set to roll tomorrow in Shreveport, Bill Goodin with the Shreveport Police Department has some helpful hints and reminders on Mardi Gras etiquette!

I had an absolute blast with Krewe of Highland Captain LeVette Fuller in studio yesterday. The fun we had just cemented my impression of Highland; wherever their krewe goes, good times ensue!

Believe it or not, yesterday was my first time at the Krewe of Barkus and Meoux Pet Parade and I was delighted! There were tons of vendors and pet organizations along with children's activities and a LOT of pets. Pets big and small descended upon Riverview Park under sunny skies and everyone looked to be having a great time...

The Krewe of Centaur calls themselves the 'Fun Krewe' and they certainly delivered this past Saturday night at the Bossier Civic Center!

Krewe of Justinian Captain Kenny Haines wasn't lying last week when he came on the show. The Krewe of Justinian Bal this past Friday night at the Horseshoe Casino Riverdome was truly EPIC!

Can I just say that 12th Night was amazing! Talk about a fitting kick off to the 2013 Mardi Gras season.

Saturday morning, members of different area Mardi Gras krewes gathered at St. Pius X for the annual Mardi Gras Mass. The event was created by John Manno, a member of the Krewe of Gemini, more than 15 years ago.

The Mardi Gras season officially kicked off Saturday night with the 12th Night Celebration hosted by the Krewes of Centaur and Gemini at the Bossier Civic Center. But on Friday night the area royalty got the chance to let their hair down in a casual setting at the annual Royalty Mixer at the Centaur Den.
