Krewes
This year’s theme is Weirdi Gras, and in keeping with the Mardi Gras theme, all stages and parades will be produced by “krewes”. A krewe is simply a group or crew of people. In New Orleans, and throughout the South, the parades of Mardi Gras have traditionally been organized by krewes of community members striving to have fun while bringing mystical and magical things to the lives of those around them.
Let the weird times roll!
