How do I join a Krewe?
Pretty much the same rules apply here as does the requirements for a Mystic Society. But you still can apply. Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club is accepting applications. We are working to assist the Krewes by becoming a contact point where we can accept an application and send it to them. What happens at those Balls (Tableau Ball Masques)? Formal Mardi Gras Balls are held by each society. Members and invited guests are in attendance. Members usually mask, while guests attend in formal attire. A tableau (a themed skit) is presented. Call out dances, reserved dances, and general dancing takes place. Royalty are presented, along with other ceremonial traditions. Membership dues pay for the event, the food, drinks, decorations, etc. Most Balls in Mobile are now held at the Mobile Civic Center, Convention Center, Fairgrounds, and Ft. Whiting. Balls in New Orleans, are generally held at the Ernest H. Morial Convention Center.
