The Queen Evangeline Parade will roll on Lundi Gras under clear but chilly skies.
The night parade which begins at 6:00 pm on February 28 will also feature several krewes including Krewe of Triton, Krewe of Attakapas, Krewe of Xanadu, Krewe of Victoria, Krewe of Troubadours, Krewe d’Argent, Krewe of Bon Amis, Krewe de Rendevous, Krewe of Karencro, Krewe of Apollo, and Krewe of Olympus.
Olivia Fox Pharr will reign over the parade tonight as Queen Evangeline LXXXII. She will co-reign Lafayette’s 2022 Mardi Gras with King Gabriel LXXXII, Dr. James Carol Bienvenu. The King Gabriel Parade will roll on Tuesday in Lafayette at 10:00 a.m.
Pharr was selected Queen in 2021 but Mardi Gras festivities were canceled because of COVID. Reigning with her will be Queen Evangeline LXXXIII, Meghan Estelle Colomb.
