Twelfth Night Ball kicks off local Mardi Gras celebrations
With Mardi Gras beginning next month, the local krewe is starting the festivities in the San Marcos area — beginning with the Twelfth Night Ball, which The Mistick Krewe of Okeanos held on Jan. 6 at Harper’s Hill Ranch in Seguin. The event was a formal affair with cocktails, dinner, a royal court, debutantes and dancing.
According to the Mistick Krewe of Okeanos website, it is a Mardi Gras Krewe and a nonprofit based in San Marcos. The mission is to support music and the arts in the area and gather community. They have an annual parade on the Saturday before Mardi Gras. The Krewe holds other private events for its members, the ball included. Mistick Krewe is the assumed name for the Texas Council for Music and the Arts, Inc.
