St. John Fools of Misrule Twelfth Night March
Covington, La. Covington, Louisiana 70433
Noting the absence of proper Twelfth Night merrymaking on the Northshore, The Fools of Misrule marching club was formed in 2011 to herald the arrival of Carnival season in St. Tammany Parish. The organization's rituals are derived from an ancient English men's group that clamored along the evening streets, creating "unruliness." If you happen to be abroad on the streets of Old Covington and find yourself on the receiving end of a jolly old English tongue lashing, don't say we didn't warn you. Catch the parade marching along New Hampshire Street to Boston, north along Columbia—stopping at watering holes along the way to the Covington Trailhead, where the Lord of Misrule will be officially crowned. 6 pm.
