Founded in 1951, The Krewe of NOMTOC (New Orleans Most Talked Of Club) began parading on the Westbank (Orleans Parish) in 1971. This all black Krewe is comprised of 400 male and female riders, 17 floats, 12 equestrian units and marching bands. Their sponsor, The Jugs Social Club has a rich heritage of civic activism, regularly donating generous amounts to local schools, youth groups, and social programs. Each year a group of academic honor students are selected as guest riders in the parade. Throws include ceramic medallion beads, jug banks and their signature Jug Man dolls.
