Welcome to one of Louisiana's most vibrant carnival organizations! Each year, the Krewe of King Arthur's 350+ members are best known for their afternoon parade on the first Sunday of Mardi Gras, commonly known as "family Sunday" in the  Carnival
schedule. The
King Arthur parade strolls down beautiful St. Charles Avenue on the
historic Uptown New
Orleans
route before turning onto Canal Street in
front of tens of thousands of spectators
of all ages.
Dozens of marching units
(floats, bands, etc.) make up the King Arthur procession.
Prized throws include special beads for each King Arthur float as
pictured in our 2004 poster (left).Mark your calendars now for Sunday, February 7, 2010 when King Arthur once again takes to the streets of Uptown New Orleans.! King Arthur is more than just a parade, however. The Krewe also holds its annual Bal Masque (masked ball) where King Arthur and Queen Guenevere are presented to fellow krewe members as well as the carnival community. Krewe members are active in local civic and charitable organizations. Please use the drop-down menu on the left column to learn more about the Krewe of King Arthur, past royalty and themes, a year-by-year history, the parade, and much more. We're pleased to have you as our guest. If you're interested in being a participant in the wonderful 
New Orleans Mardi Gras, we also encourage you to consider
