New Orleans

The only Mardi Gras krewe in New Orleans by and for the canine population.

The Krewe du Vieux was founded in 1987 from the ashes of the storied Krewe of Clones. This wild, satirical Carnival parade, which first marched in 1978, was based out of New Orleans' Contemporary Arts Center.

Rex rolls immediately following Zulu on the traditional St. Charles Route. Rex celebrates 125 years in 2007 with the theme The Lunar Realm. The identities of the King and Queen of Carnival are only announced on Lundi Gras. The organization was founded in 1872 and membership is a closely guarded secret.

The 5th oldest continuously parading organization of the New Orleans Mardi Gras season.

The Krewe of Endymion

Known for its irreverence, the Krewe of Tucks began in 1969 as a group of Loyola University students. The club takes its name from Friar Tuck, an uptown pub where two college students decided to create their own Carnival krewe after unsuccessfully trying to become white flambeaux carriers.
