Founded in 2000, Excalibur was named for the legendary sword of King Arthur. Formed by approximately 250 men and women members, the Krewe of Excalibur's medieval theme lends itself to grand costuming and a unique look.

Led by a procession of fully-suited knights on horseback, this krewe features a number of animated floats in its coterie, and it has developed a following with fans in Jefferson Parish. Each year 5 Golden Sheilds are given to 5 lucky adults. The adult who receives a shield gets a free ride in the parade next season. Along with a ball and pre- and post-parade parties, Excalibur offers events for members throughout the year.

  • Year founded:  2000
  • Membership:  225 male and female members
  • Number of floats: 20 floats
  • Signature throw:  hand decorated wooden shields
