Washington D.C. Mardi Gras

For over 60 years, the Mystick Krewe of Louisianians has brought the pageantry, revelry and mystery of Mardi Gras to our nation’s capital. From January 25 – January 27, revelers from across the state of Louisiana gathered in Washington, D.C. as King Todd Graves and Queen Anna Maeve led the carnival celebration. This year’s theme was “One Love for Louisiana” set by Mystick Krewe of Louisianians’ Chairman Congressman Garret Graves. During the three days, guests were invited to visit and meet with representatives from across the state. Congressman Ralph Abraham and wife, Dianne, were among those hosting receptions. Princesses from the 5th District were Josie Hoychick, daughter of Becky and John B. Hoychick, Caroline Raymond, daughter of Sarah and Dr. Daniel Raymond, and Jaina Robinson, daughter of Ginger and Jeff Robinson.
