🤠 The 12th Annual Jesters' Reaux-de-Eaux 🤠
About this event
Come one, come all — saddle up with the Texas-area Knights of Babylon for the Jesters' Reaux-de-Eaux, our rootin', tootin' charity benefit and Western-themed Second Line through the French Quarter on the Friday of Mardi Gras weekend! What started as a small gathering of Texas Knights has grown into a beloved twelve-year tradition of brass band music and Western flair. Bring the whole family. Buckaroos of all ages are welcome to become the stars of their very own parade.
Keep the Tradition Alive
Over the years, participants have created their own tradition of decorating cowboy hats and handing them out to enthusiastic spectators along the route. These embellished hats have become one of the most popular and memorable Reaux-de-Eaux throws. Feel free to carry on the tradition and help make these festive hats our signature giveaway.
Twelve years. Thousands of beads. Countless memories. Nearly $10,000 raised for charity last year.
Yee Haw! 🤠🎺🎭
