History
Krewe of Dreux has paraded the streets of Gentilly on the Saturday of Mardi Gras weekend since 1973. If you show up. you can join in as we bring Joy to the Townspeople - Free, the way Carnival is meant to be!
Da Captain
When the police at the official parades wanted the dirty hippies gone, Big Dave and others went back to their house on Dreux Street in Gentilly and, after eating some crawfish and drinking some beer, decided to parade the keg from the park to their hangout, The Bacchus Lounge! The Krewe was born!
