In 1972, a former captain of the Krewe of Jason joined with a long-time friend, a former captain of the Krewe of Elks Orleanians truck parade, to organize the first Jefferson Mardi Gras in 1972.
The first parade consisted of twelve truck floats down Veterans Highway in Metairie. Today the krewe comprised of 3,500 male and female riders, features 75 trucks and its own unique throws.
Following right behind the Krewe of Elks-Jeffersonians on Mardi Gras Day, the Krewe of Jefferson truck parade signals the official "beginning of the end" of Carnival in Jefferson Parish.
