Saturday January 4th, 2025, 7-9:30 p.m. Livaudais Hall (2205 Second Street, New Orleans, map). Note the banquet is TWO days before the parade this year! We'll have king cake, a hot buffet supper including a medieval roast pig AND WINE, medieval music and dancing. We'll also have a drum and chant performance by Skinz-N-Bonez, the bones gang that parades with us as Joan's murderous judges.  Show off your beautiful medieval costume and share a sneak preview of your throws with friends! All paraders are invited -- full members, honoraries and their entourage, group members, performers, foot soldiers, and personal guests of members -- advance tickets are required for the pre-parade party, which usually sells out.  Tickets are $65 per member (including foot soldiers and group members), $15 extra for non-members (if a member brings a friend).  Dress: Medieval costumes are encouraged. Please note that the price for the banquet has increased for this year because, actually, even with the increase, the ticket price still falls short of the actual per-person cost of putting on the event. This year we will eliminate the cash bar and drink tickets and instead will provide bottles of wine on the tables. Purchasing a "ticket" means your name will be on the guest list for check-in at the event. There is no paper ticket.  

Non-members may not purchase their own tickets.  Members / Paraders may purchase tickets for non-members as your personal guests.
