What makes the Krewe of Nereids unique?
The Krewe of Nereids is the only women’s krewe on the Mississippi Gulf Coast to own its den and floats. We were the third carnival organization on the Mississsippi Gulf Coast that had a complete parade. The Krewe of Nereids’ den houses their floats. Each year, under the direction of a professional float designer, the women of Nereids execute the theme designs onto individual floats. The women of Nereids perform many of the tasks required to effecuate a ball and parade each year. From sewing costumes, to making elaborate headpieces, to painting floats and sets for the ball, the women of Nereids take pride in being a working krewe.
