“Krewe” is a term commonly associated with Mardi Gras celebrations, especially in New Orleans. The word itself originates from the French term “crue” or “crew,” referring to a group of people with a shared purpose or interest. In the context of Mardi Gras, a krewe is an organization that puts on parades, balls, and other festivities.
Here’s a bit more about what krewes do:
- Parades and Floats: Many krewes are famous for their elaborate floats and themed parades. Each krewe usually has a unique theme or story that their float designs and costumes follow.
- Balls and Events: In addition to parades, many krewes host private balls and other social events. These balls can be quite lavish and often involve formal attire and traditional ceremonies.
- Charitable Work: Many krewes are involved in philanthropy and charitable activities, using their events to raise funds for various causes.
- Membership: Membership in a krewe can be exclusive and often involves a selection process. Members might participate in planning and organizing events, and some krewes have a long-standing tradition with generations of family members involved.
- Notable Krewes: Some of the most well-known krewes include Rex, Zulu, and Bacchus, each with its own history and traditions.
