FAQs
How long does the process take?
Our membership process is detailed to ensure both you and the krewe are a good fit. Generally it can take up to six months to become a probationary member.
How much does it cost to join the krewe?
Where we are a traveling krewe, expenses can be large. Additionally, we have an authorized costume seamstress and our attire can be costly. Your sponsor can provide this information on the initial meeting.
How many parades does the krewe do a year?
Our 2027 parade schedule is being planned now. Every year, our Board presents parades to membership for a vote on participation. Our parade numbers vary year to year.
