•  Twelfth Night Party - January 6th
  
  Traditionally, the Twelfth Night Party kicks off the Mardi Gras season. It is always on January 6, 12 days after Christmas. The attire is cocktail dresses for the women and suits for the men.
  
   Mardi Gras Parade and After Parade Party - February 6th
  
  The parade will usually start rolling at approximately 6:00 PM from the West Monroe staging area and will end on Breard Street in Monroe. The Krewe will have a private party after the parade and all Krewe members and riders on the Krewe of Janus floats are invited.
  
   Grand Ball - January 30th
  
  The King and Queen reign over the gala celebration. There is a presentation of the King, Queen, the Royal Court, and the Officers called the Tableau. The Royalty may invite guests to the viewing area during the presentation and they can catch specialty beads and other special throws during the presentation march. After the presentation there is a call out dance. During this dance, Royalty ask members of the Krewe, other than their spouse, to dance that special dance and the Royal gives the call out a special gift to commemorate the honor.

•  Crawfish Boil - April/May
  
  The Krewe of Janus has a Crawfish Boil in April or May of each year. The purpose of this function is to introduce potential new members to the Krewe membership and the ways of Mardi Gras. The dress is very casual for both the women and men.
  
   Fall Cocktail Party - October
  
  The Krewe of Janus announces the new King and Queen and their Royal Court. Usually there is local media covering the party to advise the community of our newly elected Royals and that the Mardi Gras festivities are about to get underway. We also honor our Corporate members for their assistance and making the Krewe of Janus what it is. The dress is cocktail attire for the women and tuxedos or suits for the men.
  
   Other Krewe functions
  
  do not have set dates; however, they will include a party given by the new Royal Court and one given by the new King and Queen. Depending on the mood of the Krewe, a party could be called at any time to relieve that unwanted stress or restlessness.
