Krewe Ball returns, to present 30 princesses

Mountain Brook’s annual Mardi Gras ball hosted by the Beaux Arts Krewe will return this month for its 49th year.

On Friday, Feb. 5, the festivities will once again feature a King and attending court, as well as the announcement of the 2016 Queen and her ladies-in-waiting. This year, the ball’s theme is “Aladdin” and the Krewe plans to welcome many guests of the court.
