Krewe of Carrollton

Founded in 1924 by an Oak Street businessman as a neighborhood parade, this Krewe was originally known as the "Seventh District Carnival Club." It is one of the oldest Krewes on the Carnival schedule of the modern era. Its Captain leads the parade on horseback and its throws include some of the longest beads to be found at the Mardi Gras celebrations...up to 48 inches.
