Question ID: 289676
I'm looking for a detailed list of all of the Mardi Gras Krewes in New
Orleans and other parts of Louisiana. I'd like a list that contains
the name of each krewe, the date of their parade, the date of their
ball and/or any other party they throw, approximate number of people
in the krewe and contact information (hopefully phone number and email
atleast).

Partial information will be helpfull as well. Most important is name
of Krewe, location, contact info and date of ball.

Hello, politicsla-ga

 Thank you for your patience while I worked on finding available
information for Mardi Gras krewes. Although there are a number of
krewes in New Orleans and Louisiana, not all of them have websites.
Many of the websites that I did find are lacking the 2004 event
information. Others have information but no contact names or
addresses.

 I have listed all the Louisiana krewes I could find with websites
even if they are not updated. Perhaps if you check back next month,
they will have the 2004 event information. While none of the websites
listed the number of members, many of them had very interesting
overviews of the history and characteristics of the individual krewe.

 I hope the information I have provided will prove useful even if some
of the contact and event information is incomplete. Many of the
websites should be updated in the coming weeks. Although I ran across
the names of numerous krewes in my research, many seem to have
disbanded or have no reference to participation in the most recent
Mardi Gras celebrations.

 If I can clarify anything further for you, please let me know. I will
be happy to help if I can.

For New Orleans parades, try www.mardigras.com. The local paper the
Times-Picayune would have a lot of information and I think publishes a
section with the information.

Also, there is a local man -- ARthur Hardy -- who annually publishes a
book for locals and tourists on Mardi Gras.
http://www.mardigrasneworleans.com/arthur/

It will have all New Orleans parades. I don't know about out-of-town
ones. I assume that it will be on Amazon.com but his site will have
ordering information. His book and site should help a lot. You can
also give him a call.
