The first event marking the beginning of the 2023 Mardi Gras Season! The 12TH Night ceremonies begin inside Seville Quarter and then move out into the streets. Once out on street, the 2nd Line procession consisting of Royalty, Town Crier, and Dignitaries visit and bless each of the floats and krewes present downtown.It is a special night where Krewes showcase their floats in downtown Pensacola. The floats are parked along the streets downtown and the public gets a chance to walk around and see the floats up close. They also get to meet and greet the various Krewe Members in each krewe and possibly determine which krewe they may like to join.
This is also the first time in the season where all of the krewes downtown get to mingle with each other and possibly catch up since the last season. We got to see friends and meet new people throughout the night. Missed those that couldn’t be there and look forward to seeing them at our next event.
Thank you Angela, Dawn, Jonie, Steve and Jen for making sure we all got fed. Special shout out to Angela for the outstanding Venison Chili, as well as Abel for being a driver for us again!
