Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. In New Orleans, the krewe established themselves as a superkrewe with their first parade in 1994 that rolled with 700 riders, a record. Now consisting of 1,200 male and female riders, the Krewe of Orpheus will roll over the Orleans Parish featuring celebrity riders.
