The Krewe of Bacchus is one of the most innovative Mardi Gras Parades in New Orleans Carnival history and celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2018. Be sure to enjoy the Super-Krewe Parade on March 3, 2019. In Vino Veritas!
The Krewe of Cenutrions was established in 1979 and currently parades in Metairie. Centurions long history and tradition of parading is just one of the many reasons that people keep on coming back.
The Krewe of Muses is distinguished as the first all-female Mardi Gras krewe to parade at night uptown New Orleans. Through their organziation they have transformed local traditions, namely popularizing all-female parades and signature throws. Plus, they throw a great party. Happy are they whom the Muses love!
Known for its irreverence, the Krewe of Tucks began in 1969 as a group of Loyola University students. The club takes it name from Friar Tuck, an uptown pub where two college students decided to create their own Carnival krewe after unsuccessfully trying to become flambeaux carriers. The parade has grown from a small nightime parade of pick-up trucks into a procession of major proportions.
