ABOUT THE KREWE
In 2011, the Krewe of Freret began with seven Loyola graduates who wanted to preserve the Mardi Gras tradition, unify enthusiastic young professionals, support local industry, and infuse vigor into Carnival while revitalizing the Freret corridor.
Today, the Krewe is known for creating a unique and inclusive parade favoring sustainable throws, local vendors, artists, and entertainers.
Members hand-decorate Mardi Gras Masks as coveted signature throws and since inception, KoF has supported local music.
