Date: Friday, Feb 17, 2012 | Location: Uptown | Time: 6:00pm
Founded in 1937, the Knights of Hermes take their name from the Greek mythos of the winged courier of the gods.
The Knights of Hermes distinguished their inaugural parade as the first to use neon lighting for its floats in 1938 and, as per tradition, the Hermes' captain leads the procession in full regalia on a white horse. The Krewe of Hermes is formed by 500 male riders.
