Krewe of Barataria
Lake Charles, LA
In 1979, Stephanie and Bill Bacque, Hulda Bradley Mahlum, Debbie and David Roberts, Alexis and David Trahan and Mike Veron teamed up to form the Krewe of Barataria. The group wanted to organize a krewe that celebrated Mardi Gras and Carnival Season but not quite as formally as the other krewes. Instead of the elaborate costumes, members of this krewe design or buy their own costumes to wear to their annual ball that is held each year on the fourth Saturday before Mardi Gras.
