The King and Queen © 1998 Holidays on the Net* The Parades of Mardi Gras Parades are put on by carnival krewes (or organizations). Every year, each krewe picks a king and a queen who reign for that parade. The floats are decorated to depict different themes. The floats are pulled by tractors. Most parades have at least 15 floats. People who belong to the krewe ride on the floats. They throw beads, doubloons, cups, and trinkets to the crowd.

The royal court includes maids, dukes, pages, captains, and jesters. Mardi Gras Books and Music Need more information on Mardi Gras? Easily search Amazon.com's wide selection from our website.
