This year’s theme “As Above So Below” celebrates the krewe’s 32nd annual parade with over 1300 members.
The Krewe of Orpheus was founded in 1993 by a small group including Harry Connick, Jr., Harry Connick, Sr. and Captain Sonny Borey. It derives its name from the mortal Orpheus, son of the god Apollo and the muse Calliope. The parade rolls on Lundi Gras and culminates with the Orpheuscapade, a black-tie party that draws thousands of revelers to welcome the floats through the convention center as they are entertained by world-renowned musicians.
Former Saints head coach Sean Payton reigned as Orpheus monarch back in 2010.
