MARDI GRAS PARADE KREWES
Krewe of Proteus
Founded in 1882 and making its debut with a Parade theme based on Egyptian mythology, the Krewe of Proteus is thus the second oldest Krewe in Carnival history. Proteus withdrew from the Parade schedule in 1992, but rejoined the Parade schedule in 2000. Proteus was once known as the most miserly of the Krewes in the area of throws. However, their trinkets now include 60-inch red-and-white pearl bead necklaces, plastic tridents and polystone medallions.
