Basic Krewe Information
What is a Krewe? The word “Krewe” is a generic term used to describe any carnival organization or club. The word was coined by the oldest such organization in New Orleans, the Mystik Krewe of Comus who believed in 1857 that the word gave the club’s name an “olde-English” flavor.Here in St. Louis the Soulard Mardi Gras Grand Parade is made up of many Krewes. Each float or marching group represents the efforts of an individual Krewe.
The purpose of the parade is to entertain the crowd. To encourage creativity, there are substantial prizes involved for the best floats. Judges are looking for creativity, three dimensional design, adherence to theme and so forth.
Follow the construction guidelines for safety and reliability compliance and stock up on beads. Join the Krewe Forum through the website to exchange ideas and ask questions.
