Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez! This year the call to “Let the Good Times Roll” was loud and clear. For many years my friends and I have talked about building a mardi gras parade float to throw beads and act foolish. Relegated to the “bucket list” year after year, the disappointment was almost part of the tradition… UNTIL NOW.

Announcing the formation of the Krewe Xenia.

Join us on Facebook.

We will be marching in the Clarendon Mardi Gras Parade on Tuesday, March 12th. Join us and maybe we will throw you something!

Why Xenia?

Well every Krewe must have a great name, and according to Wikipedia, Xenia is just about perfect:

Xenia (Greek: ξενία, xenía) is the Greek word for the concept of hospitality, or generosity and courtesy shown to those who are far from home. It is often translated as “guest-friendship” (or “ritualized friendship”) because the rituals of hospitality created and expressed a reciprocal relationship between guest and host.

So be our guest tomorrow!
