Founded in 1952 as the Knights of Sparta, the now co-ed Spartan Society takes its name from the city-state in southern Greece, renowned for its simple, stoic ways and exemplary disciplines.
The Knights of Sparta first paraded in 1981 in Orleans Parish. In 2020, the ladies of the Mystical Order of the Phoenix joined Sparta.
The Spartan Society is known for their elaborate bal masque tableaus and for their traditional, yet innovative, street parade on the first Saturday on the Carnival parade season. Past throws have included medallion beads, doubloons, Spartan helmets and a top secret mystery throw.
