Le Krewe d\'Etatis a satiricalNew Orleans Mardi Graskrewewith their first organized inaugural parade in 1998. Prior to organizing their own parade, a member of the krewe known simply as Unknown Spokesman said the group had covertly infiltrated Pegasus with some floats of their own.[1]The krewe has historically paraded on the Friday prior to Fat Tuesday, immediately followingHermes. The parade route originally started at Magazine and Napoleon. But now the Krewe started the new traditional route that starts at Jefferson and Magazine, heading downtown to Magazine and Napoleon, then towards the lake on Napoleon to St. Charles, then heads downtown towards Lee Circle, around Lee Circle, and finally onto Canal Street. The procession includes traditionalfloats, Lieutenants on horseback, andflambeauxcarriers. In 2013, d\'Etat had 23 floats and roughly 450 riders.[2]Membership is open, but the Krewe has elected to keep the organization small.[1]
The Krewe eschewsmonarchy, in favor of a figurehead known simply as \"The Dictator,\" whose identity is held secret. The Dictator\'s \"court\" includes the Kingfish, the Special Man, the Minister of Misinformation, the Keeper of the Bones and the High Priest.[1]
d\'Etat\'s motto is \"Vivite ut Vehatis. Vehite ut Vevatis,\" which roughly translates to “Live to Ride, Ride to Live.”[3]
The Krewe decides a new theme for their parade annually (\"raison d\'etre\"), and it, just like The Dictator\'s identity, remains confidential. The parade floats are intended to lampoon current events, politicians, social lights, business moguls, etc.
