Le Krewe Des Jeunes Amis was established
in 1996 with the idea that all children should be the King or
Queen of their Krewe. In 1997, the Krewe held its first annual
Mardi Gras Ball.
Membership is limited to families
proposed for membership by three member families and approved by
the Board of Directors. Children of member families participate
in the annual Mardi Gras Ball, Mardi Gras Parade and other Krewe
activities. In order to participate in the Ball and/or Parade
children must be at least two (2) years old but no older than
fourteen (14) years at the time of the annual Ball.
Children in seventh (7th) or eighth (8th) grade who have not
reached their fourteenth (14th) birthday at the time of the
annual Ball may participate in the Royal Court as a King or
Queen. Our Krewe believes every child is a King or Queen.
