The all-ladies Krewe of Attakapas held its annual ball and pageant at the Frem F. Boustany Center, also known as the Heymann Center, on Jan. 28 in Lafayette.
The krewe keeps its members secret and behind masks, so it is always a fun party shrouded in a little bit of mystery. Ladies dressed in costumes with a Native American theme paraded down the runway to festive music and treated the audience to some entertaining dance moves along the way.
This year’s ball drew an extra large crowd in the auditorium, so it was standing room only for many. They may have all gathered to see this year’s queen, who wore a stunning costume of white and gold.
Do we know who the queen is? Yes, we do. Can we tell you? No, we cannot. Suffice it to say, she is a beauty. And she represented the krewe beautifully. Congratulations to Attakapas on another successful Mardi Gras year.
