Welcome to the Krewe of Apollo website
THEME ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!
The theme for Bal Masque L is "All That Glitters…Is Gold". It is a play on the famous proverb of All That Glitters Is Not Gold, meaning that not everything that looks pretty or attractive on the surface is not actually genuine or good. We are here to prove that wrong with our amazing costumes and celebrating 50 years of the Mystic Krewe of Apollo de Lafayette!
Tickets go on sale this fall! More information to come later! Hope to see you there!
Save the date – Saturday, January 23, 2027!
