Krewe of Cork
Date: Friday, Feb 10, 2012 | Location: French Quarter | Time: 12:00pm
Founded in 2000, the Krewe of Cork has grown into a world famous Mardi Gras and wine industry phenomenon. Krewe members gather on selected Fridays, usually the first Friday of each month, at restaurants throughout the area for T.G.I.C.D. (Thank Goodness It's Cork Day).
The krewe's two main events of the year are the Mardi Gras parade day festivities and participation in the New Orleans Wine and Food Experience Royal Street Stroll. Throughout the year, the Krewe of Cork invites members to wine dinners and other special occasions such as road trips and wine tastings.
"We celebrate Wine! Food! Fun!" says King Patrick van Hoorebeek.
