No Royal Court would be complete without
the performance of our dedicated Jesters
of Krewe De L’Possede, providing twists of
plots guaranteed to astound and terrify even
the most fearless Fairy Tale lovers.
Krewe De L’Possede (“the Krewe of
Mischievous Children”) was established
in 2002 with the purpose of promoting
the heritage and celebration of the Mardi
Gras season throughout our community.
To the members of Possede, Mardi Gras
has come to mean year-round gatherings
for activities, socializing and celebratory
events. But don’t think this Krewe doesn’t
put some work into it; many hours are
spent preparing for the show at the annual
Krewe Ball held at Burton Coliseum.
