MARDI GRAS PARADE KREWES
Krewe of Carrollton
Founded in 1924 by a group of local businessmen, Carrollton has a long-standing tradition of rolling exactly at its designated time. The krewe made a lasting place for itself in 1933 when, due to the wettest season on record Carrollton was the only daytime parade for the year, but a devastating den fire and the outbreak of World War II seemingly killed the krewe in 1942. However, in 1947, the surviving members reunited and resumed their place in the Mardi Gras lineup. Formed by more than 325 male and female riders, Carrollton is now the fourth oldest parading krewe and one of the city's most popular parades.
