Twelfth Night occurs 12 days after Christ was born and is considered the beginning of the Mardi Gras Season. The Krewe of Janus will kick-off Mardi Gras with a Twelfth Night Party at their Krewe Den. The Mardi Gras King and Queen will appear for the first time in their royal regalia, and the Royal Court will be presented. Semi-formal dress, beer, wine, and hors d'oeuvres will be served.
