Local nonprofit and hosts of San Marcos’ Mardi Gras celebrations, the Mistick Krewe of Okeanos, officially kicked off Mardi Gras season on Jan. 5 with an Epiphany Ball that ushered in this year’s royal court and debutantes.
Since medieval times, celebrants have gathered for the last day of Christmas, or Twelfth Night. The celebration serves as the final day of the Christmas season for several Christian denominations and as the beginning of Mardi Gras season, a time of frivolity before the Lenten season commences on Ash Wednesday.
The Mistick Krewe observes the Twelfth Night with their annual Epiphany Ball. This year’s debutantes are Camille Garcia, Taylor Frugoni , Cendra Rodriguez and Lindsey Elise Fields.
