Good afternoon my darling family and friends. Today, Monday, February 6, calls for a celebration because we have been blessed with the priceless gift of life. May our life continue to be showered with God's amazing blessings. I hope you enjoyed this past week and its parades. I am looking forward to a week in which I will participate on Friday, February 10 as the former Queen of Krewe of Cork and on Sunday, February 12 with Duke NIZI at the fun-loving Mystic Krewe of Barkus. Enjoy the Superbowl and may the best team wins! Have a blessed week.

About: The Historic BK House & Gardens: Now distinguished as a National Historic Landmark, the house was built in 1826, purchased by noted author Frances Parkinson Keyes in 1948 and restored under her loving care. Programming has evolved in the last several years to focus on the seven families who lived on the property, as well as influences of the French Quarter neighborhood. A new interpretative program is underway to better reflect the heritage of the site. Membership, events, grants, donations, and fundraising activities generate revenue needed for on-going restoration and future capital improvement projects.

2023 Mardi Gras Parade Schedule
Krewe of Cork Parade Route :
The parade route is a little more than one mile through the heart of the French Quarter. The parade begins at 3 p.m. in front of The Court of the Two Sisters and ends shortly after 5 p.m. at the Royal Sonesta Hotel Conti Street entrance. Founded in 2000, the Krewe of Cork has grown into a world-famous Mardi Gras and wine industry phenomenon.
- The Krewe of Cork will begin on Royal Street between St. Peter Street and Toulouse Street in New Orleans.
- The parade will follow Royal Street southwestward to Bienville Street.
- The krewe will proceed northwest on Bienville for one block to turn northeast on Bourbon Street.
- The parade will follow Bourbon Street to St. Ann Street, where it will turn southeast.
- From St. Ann, the parade will turn southwest down Chartres Street.
- At St. Peter Street, the parade will turn northwest and proceed to Royal Street.
- Once the parade has turned southwest down Royal Street, it will proceed to Conti Street.
- The krewe will turn northwest and finish the parade on Conti between Royal Street and Bourbon Street.
Founded in 2000, the Krewe of Cork celebrates food, wine and fun with a spirited walking parade through the French Quarter eleven days before Mardi Gras. Krewe members wear costumes with a wine-related theme, toss throws bearing their grape logo, and are accompanied along their route by wine police in golf carts (the wine police motto is "To serve and pour”). The parade's Grand Marshal is a different vintner ever year, and the krewe stops in front of selected hotel restaurants for toasts. After the procession ends, the wine continues to flow at the "King and Queen Libation Ball.”
