The Krewe of Orion Proudly Presents – Masquerade – February 22, 2025!

Each year, the Krewe of Orion throws the best, fun-filled, action packed Mardi Gras party in Baton Rouge – Masquerade! This spectacular event combines all the excitement of a Mardi Gras ball, dancing, and a Mardi Gras parade all wrapped up in one dazzling package. To start the evening, sit back and enjoy the music, visit with your friends, and maybe do a little dancing. Then get ready as the Krewe of Orion’s nighttime parade comes to you.

The magical sights and sounds of our parade come to Masquerade and roll indoors through the great door and down the center of the Exhibition Hall. Enjoy marching bands, dance units, and, of course, our lighted and decorated floats. Wave to our masked and costumed riders as they throw plenty of those great Krewe of Orion throws just for you. How much can you catch? But wait, there’s more!

The evening continues to the wee hours as Masquerade presents high-energy live musical entertainment, offering selections for all ages. What a way to cap off the evening!

While we want everyone to be able to attend the Masquerade each year, unfortunately this year we are not able to use our normal location as there is a National Bowling Tournament that will be occupying the space. Our event has been moved to a smaller venue thus reducing considerably the number of tickets available.

Tickets have been released to the Orion membership, and at this time the event is completely SOLD OUT. We do have a limited number of membership spots available and this does present an opportunity to join our krewe, if you’d like to be guaranteed a pair of tickets for the upcoming Masquerade.

Mark your calendars for the next Masquerade date on February 7, 2026, when we will be back in the Raising Cane’s River Center Exhibition Hall as normal and tickets will be available as before. We will once again announce on this page when tickets will be available.
