La Guignolee

The Ste. Genevieve ‘La Guignolee’ singing troupe will run their circuit of the Ste. Genevieve historic district in a centuries old New Year’s tradition. Dressed in bizarre and somewhat archaic costumes, the revelers wander from place to place on New Year’s Eve, singing a beggars’ song for favors. Make a dinner reservation at a restaurant to see the troupe as they make their rounds, watch them perform in the Valle gym at 7:00, or attend a La Guignolee watch party at the Centre for French Colonial Life and the Bolduc House.
