Guests will be treated to a piece of Galette des Rois, or king's cake. The guest who finds a special bean hidden in the cake becomes "King" for the year.

Guests are welcome to bring a basket of snacks for their own enjoyment, and there will be a cash bar for refreshments.

The cost is $15 for adults and $10 for students. Proceeds from the King's Ball benefit the Foundation for Restoration of Ste. Genevieve.
