Hail King Arthur!

Behold the noble Krewe of King Arthur, one of the grandest and most diverse krewes in New Orleans. Founded upon the principles of inclusion 50 years ago, we welcome all who share a fervent love for the joyous festivities of Mardi Gras!

Each year, on the hallowed first Sunday of Mardi Gras, known far and wide as “Family Sunday” in the Carnival calendar, our 2000 valiant members take to the streets in a magnificent parade, spreading merriment and enchantment along the route.

The Grail

The Holy Grail, a key element of Arthurian legend, was first described as an ornate cup seen by Knight Perceval in the Grail Castle. Today, the search for the Grail represents the quest for eternal life and love, embodying the passion and creativity of the Krewe of King Arthur. 

Royal Ball

The Krewe of King Arthur is not just about the parade. Every year, they also host the annual Bal Masqué, a black-tie affair where King Arthur and Queen Guinevere are formally introduced to the krewe and the carnival community.

Our History

From a dream of a couple of 13 year olds to one of the largest krewes in Mardi Gras, King Arthur continues to make dreams happen! Now in its 50th year, the krewe continues to grow and thrive.
