Starting a Krewe

 

Active krewes are what keeps Mardi Gras alive, the more the merrier. Be a part of the fun by starting your own krewe. All you need is a group of fun loving people. New krewes are encouraged to join the Mardi Gras Committee in planning the festivities by selecting a member and an alternate to represent their krewe on the Mardi Gras Committee. The krewe dues are determined by the number of members in the krewe. Dues are $25.00 per krewe member.

 

Each krewe must set up a bank account in the name of the krewe and maintain records. Committee meetings are held when the executive committee deems necessary. They are currently being held once a month on the first Wednesday of the month unless otherwise notified. Locations may vary. Members will be notified 2 weeks in advance and meeting notices will be posted on our web site.

Parade entry fee is $25 per person. For additional information please contact: Bill Ouellette, President at 863-638-2686 .

 

Applications for those just wishing to enter the parade are available here.
