Knights of Babylon

Date: Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 | Location: Uptown | Time: 5:45pm

Knights of BabylonFounded in 1939, the Knights of Babylon have proudly kept their traditional float designs, which remain unchanged after more than 70 years. Each float in the Knights of Babylon parade is a chapter in the story being told.

The krewe consists of more than 200 knights. Their king, or Sargon, takes his title from the legendary Babylonian ruler, and the current king's identity is never revealed to the public.
