The Krewe of Muses holds numerous events throughout the year. We strongly encourage all members, riding and non-riding, to attend these events and meet more of the amazing Muses. Here is what to expect.
Thirsty Thursday
The Thirsty Thursday events are regular gatherings which benefit a charitable cause. These are held after work at local bars or restaurants. These events are open to Muses and their friends and (adult) family members. Sometimes, there is a small charge to attend, all of which goes to the charitable purpose.
Spring/Summer Party
This annual party occurs sometime between May and June. It is the first party of the year for the Krewe after Mardi Gras. With food, drinks and excitement flowing, each occasion of the summer party has a different theme and purpose, and is one of the most fun and craziest parties of the year. This event is open to Muses and their friends and (adult) family members. There is a charge to attend.
Annual Meeting/ Brunch
The annual meeting/brunch is the day you will discover our parade theme for the coming year, your float assignment, details of the headdress contest, new throws and many more important facts for the upcoming parade. It is also a fun party that the annual decorated wearable shoe contest occurs. This event is for Muses only. There is a charge to attend, which covers our costs only.
Twelfth Night Party
The 12th Night Party kicks off the carnival season! This is a fabulous party with food, King Cake, Sponsor drinks and the annual decorated shoe contest occurs. It is also the opportunity to win a ride in the parade via a live auction as well as a silent auction to win already decorated shoes to throw and a raffle to win fabulous other prizes There is a charge to attend, which covers our costs only.
The Pre-Ride Party
The pre-party is the beginning of the excitement. On the day of the parade, beginning around 3:00, members arrive in costume and ready to ride. Muses gather by float and prepare for the headdress contest. The event includes music, food (be sure to eat because it is a long day and night) and beverages (drinks are flowing.) Many Muses will tell you that the pre-party is their favorite time and it certainly rivals the actual ride. It is a wonderful event so arrive on time and enjoy the excitement. Following the pre-party members get on their floats for the ride. This event is free of charge and is for riding Muses only.
The aMUSEment Party
Every Muse receives admission to the aMUSEment party. The party occurs immediately after the parade and includes live music, food and full open bar. Muses have an opportunity to purchase tickets for husbands, boyfriends, friends, house guests, etc. (Purchase tickets early for the best price). It is an adult event - no children. This event is free for riding and non-riding Muses.
