MARDI GRAS PARADE KREWES

Krewe of Centurions

Founded in 1979, this all-male organization decided to be named after the fabled group of Roman warriors, as the Centurians were leaders of men. Originally formed by a partnership of businessmen from the Harahan - River Ridge area, Centurions paraded for two seasons on Jefferson Highway before taking up the Veterans Memorial Parade route in 1981. One of the greatest aspects of the Centurion parades are their attention to children and families, choosing themes that can be enjoyed by all. Formed by more than 350 male riders, this Krewe is a social organization that has family oriented festivities throughout the entire year.
