The Natchitoches Krewe of Dionysos Coronation to announce the 2024 Royal Court was held on August 5, 2023, at the Natchitoches Event Center.  Food was catered by Sweetie’s Bar-B-Q, beverages provided by Murphy’s Beverage Catering Service and attendees enjoyed live music by Billy O’Con and Badd Apple.  The theme for the upcoming season, “Kings, Queen, Castles and Dreams: A Dionysos Fairy Tale” will certainly make for a year filled with magic and mystery!  Congratulations to the Krewe of Dionysos 2024 Royalty! 
 
The 2024 parade will be held on February 10, 2024.  Participants can submit entries to join the parade on the Krewe website:  https://kreweofdionysos.com/join-us/
