A glittering entrance to the Mardi Gras season, the Twelfth Night celebration at the Lake Charles Civic Center draws thousands to see the grand promenade of the kings, queens, and captains of 43 krewes. The Twelfth Night tradition parallels the three kings entry at the ancient nativity twelve days after Jesus birth. Additionally, in the spirit of gift-bearing, everyone present at the southwest Louisiana celebration is given a piece of king cake, and 12 grand prizes are given to visitors who find a surprise in the cake. Over 50 door prizes will also be on hand. There is dancing following the promenade. Tickets purchased in advance are $4, or if purchased at the door theyre $5 for adults and free for children 5 and under. |
