All registered players are bestowed the honor of membership in the wondrous and mystic Krewe of Pétanque. The traditions of the Krewe are closely held, but it is well-known that each year’s King Carreau and Queen Fanny are selected from those krewe members in attendance. We hope you will join us to celebrate their kind and benevolent reign.
The Mardi Gras Open features an entire WEEKEND of pétanque and revelry. The fun starts Friday afternoon with social play and other festivities, and keeps rolling along through the two-day tournament on Saturday and Sunday, followed by local Mardi Gras parades.
