Fools March Parade Route 2015The St. John Fools of Misrule formed in 2011 to announce the arrival of Carnival season on the Northshore, establishing their first Twelfth Night celebration in 2012. The walking group, composed of local “Fools” and “Jewels”, will hold the annual “Feast of Fools & March” on Saturday, January 10th. The members-only Feast begins the festivities that carry on into the public March, starting in front of Columbia Street Tap Room at 6 pm with flambeaux and a brass band, then continuing throughout the streets of downtown Covington while visiting various local establishments of merit. The “Lord of Fools” will be announced at the Covington Trailhead. Merrymaking will include cowbells, costumes and masks. All masked merrymakers are encouraged to participate, but non-masked individuals beware! Much hoopla and shenanigans will ensue as Covington ushers in Carnival season for the Northshore!
