Knights of Sparta
Founded in 1952, Knights of Sparta takes its name from the city-state in southern Greece, renowned for its simple, stoic ways and exemplary disciplines. The all-men Krewe, the Knights of Sparta, first paraded in 1981 in Orleans Parish. The Knights are still known for their elaborate bal masque tableaus and for their traditional, yet innovative, street parade on the first Saturday on the Carnival parade season. This organization is formed by more than 350 male riders.
