he mystic societies of Krewe of Cerveza, Krewe Du Brew, Krewe De los Muertos,
Krewe De Bon Amis, and Mystic Order of Revelry presented the 2nd Annual Joint
Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball on Saturday, January 20. The night was appropriately
themed “Like Totally 80’s.” An Open Bar was included with ticket price, as well as
a dinner buffet.
The night began with a masquerade cocktail reception and networking, followed by a masked
coronation. In keeping with tradition, a second line procession completed the ceremony with the
unmasking of members at the end of the procession. The Royalty Reception was then held where
the newly crowned king and queen could interact with their guests as attendees were encouraged
to visit the buffet. Each krewe presented their king and queen to the assembly, and attendees
cheered on each pair as they walked to the stage.
Attire for the evening was black tie, formal dresses or krewe costume. Raised on the Radio
provided the live entertainment for the evening. Organizer, Randy Palmer stated, “Next year,
we hope to invite more Krewes to join in, and we’d like to start the planning for next year’s ball in
May.”
