Krewe of Thoth

Thoth is the Egyptian patron of wisdom and the inventor of science, art and letters. He is traditionally represented by the body of a man and the head of an ibis. His mythological counterparts were the Greek Hermes and the Roman Mercury.

The Krewe of Thoth was organized in 1947 and presented its first ball and five-float parade with 50 members the next year. Because the krewe designs their parade route to pass in front of 14 institutions that care for persons with disabilities and illnesses, the men of Thoth have become known as the “krewe of the shut-ins.”

Krewe Of Thoth Signature floats: Thoth Tomb, Egyptian Jesters, Wake up New Orleans, Here we Come, Thoth Magazine Line, High Priest of Thoth, The Royal Barge, His Majesty’s Entourage.
