Founded more than 50 years ago in 1972, the first all-female krewe on the West Bank moved to the East Bank in 2012, becoming the first all-female organization on the Uptown route. Their motto is: "Her beauty is timeless, her age is now...forever!"
Named after the Queen of Egypt, the krewe consists of 1,800 members. The fun begins with a Cleopatra Pre-Parade and ends with the post-parade Cleo Jubilee. In between, the queen travels down St. Charles Avenue on her royal barge.
Other krewe events during the year include a Masquerade Gala in September and a Rendezvous Ball in January.
