Founded in 1933, the Krewe of Mid-City is the 5th-oldest continuously parading organization of the New Orleans Mardi Gras season. Mid-City has gained a reputation for having themes dedicated to children and for having some of the best bands in Mardi Gras from all over the country.

The Krewe of Mid-City appeared in their first Mardi Gras Parade in 1934. It included six small floats drawn by mules, horseback riders and two bands. Mid City’s floats have a unique look, using bright tin foil as a cover and design element. In 1947, they were the first Krewe to use animation on their floats. In 1955, they had a candy themed parade, complete with floats sprayed with candy flavored aroma!
The Krewe selects a boy and girl from the local Ronald McDonald House to serve as honorary King and Queen each year.
