Twelfth Night, also known as King’s Day or Epiphany Day,, is steeped in rich history and marks the official end of the Christmas season and the beginning of Mardi Gras. Rooted in Christian tradition, Epiphany commemorates the day the three wise men, or kings, visited the Christ child, bringing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. In South Louisiana, the day is synonymous with celebration, community, and the much-loved tradition of king cake. On January 6, the vibrant energy of Mardi Gras begins to fill the air!

Rouses invites you to indulge in the tradition with their Mardi Gras King Cake Walk. Visit any Rouses store today from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a chance to win a free king cake and a bag of Rouses coffee, with winners chosen every hour! From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., enjoy free coffee samples to pair with the sweet, cinnamon-y delight of their king cake.
