Delcambre’s Krewe De Mystical Waters plays ball

On January 17, 2026, the Krewe de Mystical Waters marked a milestone evening with the celebration of its XXV Bal Masque, delighting guests with a spirited night of pageantry, tradition, and entertainment.
Embracing the lively theme “Play Ball,” the ballroom was transformed into a festive tribute to America’s favorite pastime, blending Mardi Gras elegance with playful, athletic flair.
The evening’s production unfolded as a lively showdown at Arceneaux Park, where the Party Poulets and Shrimp Shakers faced off in a spirited display of choreography and storytelling. Inspired by beloved baseball classics, A League of Their Own and The Sandlot played a central role in the production, adding nostalgia, humor, and heart to the performance.
The royal court honored King Mark Arceneaux and Queen Listi S. Arceneaux XXII, who reigned over the celebration with grace and enthusiasm. Mark and Listi have been married for 25 years and have long been steadfast supporters of the Krewe, embodying its values of leadership, unity, and community.
Mark and Listi have two sons, Cru and Jaggar. Mark is an active baseball coach for his son, Cru, at Delcambre High, and Listi is their #1 fan.
As masks glittered and music filled the room, the XXV Bal Masque stood as a testament to the Krewe de Mystical Waters’ enduring commitment to community, camaraderie, and Mardi Gras tradition. With “Play Ball” setting the tone, the evening proved to be a winning celebration and a proud chapter in the Krewe’s storied legacy. Fun was had by all as the Junior LaCrosse Band kept the dance floor full and the party going all night.
