Each year, deep in the heart of winter, the Mardi Gras season lights a spark as it begins in January with the Twelfth Night Dance Party and Celebration.
 

On this enchanted night, the King and Queen of Asheville’s new Mardi Gras season will be crowned.

 

All Asheville Mardi Gras supporting members are welcome to take a slice of King Cake. Whoever finds the Mardi Gras baby in his or her slice will pick a royal consort, and the two will lead the Asheville Mardi Gras Parade as newly crowned royalty!
 

Memberships will be available at the door for $25. As always, costumery and buffoonery are welcome, but not required. Cash bar. 
 

Members free.
