Founded in 1973, the all-female Krewe of Isis first started parading in Kenner before taking the standard Veterans Memorial Boulevard route in Jefferson Parish.

Comprised of 250 riders and 21 floats, this Egyptian-themed krewe features an assortment of marching bands, dance teams and specatularly attired maids.

Isis is an Ancient Egyptian goddess who was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife, as well as the patroness of nature and magic. She is known as a protector of the dead and goddess of children.
