Twelfth Night
What:
Twelfth Night is the traditional beginning of Mardi Gras, on January 6, twelve nights after Christmas. Mardi Gras, Inc. and its Board of Directors start the season at the birthplace of Soulard Mardi Gras in St. Louis. The Board of Directors accept petitions from various civic, business and neighborhood leaders requesting them to declare the new Mardi Gras season.
Join us on the front steps of Johnny's to hear the reading of the proclamation. A musical procession will then wind through the neighborhood, ending at the corner of 7th and Soulard, where the Soulard Mardi Gras flag will rise and fireworks will signal the official start of the Mardi Gras season in Soulard.
When:
January 6
We look forward to seeing you there!
