Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to the Mystic Krewe of the XIIth Night Revelers on their most successful fundraiser to date, raising more than $51,000 to support the Peabody Foundation's arts education programming.

Mardi Gras For The Peabody Foundation – A Party With A Purpose! was held on February 3, 2024 at The Shores Resort & Spa. The event featured New Orleans themed hors d'oeuvres, raw oyster bar compliments of The Oyster Pub, traditional King Cake, music by Then2Now and DJ Jukebox Bully, a variety of entertainers, stunning centerpieces by Zahn's Flowers, and an amazing silent auction of over 60 items thanks to the generosity of community businesses. The highlight of the evening was the crowd joining the Krewe in the traditional second line featuring live music and culminating in the crowning of the 2024 Mardi Gras King Jim Tobin and Queen Virginia Waikins.

A special thank you to all our sponsors!
