Krewe of Carrollton
The Krewe of Carrollton has a long and storied history. Formed by a group of Oak Street businessmen in 1924, the Krewe's modest beginnings over 80 years ago have been the foundation of a Carnival organization both widely known as a significant participant in the Carnival season, and was itself instrumental in fostering and assisting new organizations which adopted many of the Carrollton practices. The parade theme will be "Color Your World."
Krewe of King Arthur
King Arthur's Roundtable Welcomes All, the 20th year parading in New Orleans, 43 years of parading!
King Arthur is the 6th largest (2nd largest co-ed) Krewe in Mardi Gras and proud to be one of the most diverse in all of Mardi Gras. King Arthur was founded on inclusion and they welcome all who share a love of Mardi Gras to join them!
Each year, the 1750 Knights of King Arthur parade on the first Sunday of Mardi Gras, commonly known as "Family Sunday" in the Carnival schedule.
