Local Krewes

The Demented Krewe of Dickson, the first in Northwest Arkansas, hosts this site. Its web pages are here, and look remarkably like the Fayetteville Mardi Gras pages.

The Krewe of Olympia has a superb float, and has been playing with us for many years.

The Krewe de Boar Rouge rides gloriously once a year in the parade.

The Barkus krewe is Chaddie's pet project. She likes dogs, you know.

Email us with your links, and we'll get them posted.

Start your own Krewe

Get your people together and start your own Krewe, and plan to build a float and participate in the parade.

From Wikipedia: A krewe (pronounced in the same way as "crew") is an organization that puts on a parade and or a ball for the Carnival season. The term is best known for its association with New Orleans Mardi Gras, but is also used in other Carnival celebrations . . . Krewe members are assessed fees in order to pay for the parade and/or ball. Criteria for krewe membership varies, ranging from exclusive organizations largely limited to relatives of previous members to other organizations open to anyone able to pay the membership fee. Krewes with low membership fees may also require members to work to help build and decorate the parade floats and make their own costumes . . . Some krewes also have other events like private dances or parties for members throughout the year. Some also make a point of supporting charities and good causes.
