The Krewe of Phoenix
Laissez les bons temps rouler...
KOP Annual Ball
Each year at the beginning of the Mardi Gras season, the Krewe of Phoenix throws a fabulous ball for their guests. The theme for the 2023 Ball was The Oscars, and it was held on January 28, 2023, at Fort Whiting in Mobile, Alabama. We celebrated the reign of King Chase XII and King Cody XII.
​
At the end of the tableau, we crowned our new monarchs, Queen Eva XIII and King Logan XIII. The 2024 Ball date and theme will be announced soon.

The Krewe of Phoenix
The Krewe of Phoenix (KOP) is an all-inclusive Mardi Gras Organization (LGBTQ) in Mobile, Alabama. Nine founding members started the organization in January 2009. The first general meeting with charter members was held on March 22, 2009.
Our main objective is to give viable support to the community. Our hope is to make a comfortable environment that will be fulfilling to all of us. Our dream is to not be complacent, but to grow and become a vital part of the community.
KOP has several events planned throughout the year, and we look forward to seeing you at these events.
