The Krewe of Nefertiti was established in 2018 as an all-female social aid and pleasure club. The women believe in “cultivating the community through volunteer service, fundraising and celebration. Their motto is: “We serve before we roll.” In 2020 they permanently moved their parade route to East New Orleans.

The Krewe is named after the ancient Egyptian Queen Nefertiti who some believe ruled for a time after the death of her husband and before King Tut took the throne. A bust of Nefertiti now is one of the most copied works of ancient Egypt.
