The Krewe of Freret is a vibrant and inclusive Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans, LA, that aims to preserve the rich tradition of Carnival while revitalizing the Freret corridor. Founded in 2011 by Loyola graduates, the Krewe is known for its unique and inclusive approach, favoring local vendors, artists, and entertainers, and hand-decorating coveted Mardi Gras Masks as signature throws.
With an expanded partnership with legendary Float Builder and Parade Producer Kern Studios, the Krewe of Freret is on its way to becoming the next Super Krewe. Their annual parade features magical floats, renowned musicians, and the best marching bands and performers in Mardi Gras, culminating in the Shorty Gras Ball, a fusion of Mardi Gras and Music headlined and curated by Trombone Shorty. Membership and event admission are limited, making it a highly sought-after experience.
