Ancient Druids
Rolling tonight: Ancient Druids, Mystic Krewe of Nyx
|
The two krewes leading the march tonight into the final week of the season represent the old line and new wave in Carnival krewes. The night opens with the Ancient Druids, a highly secretive all-male krewe that limits its members to Carnival veterans who parade with other krewes. The Druids are followed by the Mystic Krewe of Nyx, an exuberant all-female group that has grown quickly to become the youngest superkrewe. The parades follow the same route (shown below), starting on Jefferson and Magazine and turning on Napoleon before rolling on St. Charles Avenue into the CBD.
