Krewe of Excalibur

Krewe of Excalibur
The co-ed Krewe of Excalibur, reigning over Metairie since 2000, was named for the legendary sword of King Arthur. Formed by approximately 250 men and women members, the Krewe of Excalibur's medieval theme lends itself to grand costuming and a unique look. Look for the signature throw: the Dragon Egg!

Led by a procession of fully-suited
knights on horseback, this krewe features a number of animated floats in its coterie, and it has developed a following with fans in Jefferson Parish. Each year 5 Golden Shields are given to 5 lucky adults. The adult who receives a shield gets a free ride in the parade next season. Along with a ball and pre- and post-parade parties, Excalibur offers events for members throughout the year.

Parade will begin at the intersection of Veterans Boulevard and Houma Boulevard.
