Carnival is here again! The annual kickoff to the official Carnival season, Twelfth Night (also known as Epiphany), is January 6 and a number of public events are happening around New Orleans to celebrate its arrival.

Krewe de Jeanne d'Arc parades annually on January 6 in honor of the birthday of Joan of Arc and promotes St. Joan and the city's French cultural heritage throughout the year. This walking parade runs through the French Quarter on Wednesday, January 6 at 7p.

Phunny Phorty Phellows ride the St. Charles Streetcar line at 7p, along with the Storyville Stompers, for a uproarious trip to (former?) Lee Circle and back.

Vaughan's will host its annual party, with many revelers dressed in a costume from last year, a fun way to usher in the new season.

Krewe of Kalunga is hosting a Masked Ball with Timmy Thomas, King James and the Special Men, Gary Wrong Group, DJ Vermiculite, and psychedelic art video projectionist 9Ris 9Ris. [see flyer below].

Mid-City Rock'n'Bowl is hosting a King Cake Party with Benny Grunch.

King cakes are in the shops and ready to be eaten!

HAPPY CARNIVAL!

Whoops! Thanks AJ.

The second, official, and annual Krewe of Kalunga 12th Night Masked Ball! For this years festivities, we are happy to announce that Mr. Timmy "Why Can't We Live Together" Thomas and the Overtown Soul Revue will be making his first appearance since "Hotline Bling" as our Headliner and Lord of Misrule! This means that we must all be prepared to do each and everything he tell us to, so act like you know and do what the nice man say! Gary Wrong Group and King James & The Special Men will also be there to get you in the mood, as will DJ Vermiculite on the "vinyls" and the irrepressible VJ 9ris 9ris with his psychological projections. All this in an effort to entertain ourselves...and to eat cake! YOU WILL DRINK CHAMPAGNE AND EAT KING CAKE!

It's Carnival Time! If you don't know, better ask somebody!

Limited tickets available, pre-sale ONLY! Get them at Euclid Records, R Bar, Bud Rip's, or Sidney's Saloon before they're gone and remember...no mask, no entry!
