Endymion: Founded in 1967 and named for the Olympian God of Fertility and Eternal Youth, this Krewe is the largest in Mardi Gras history, rising to "Super Krewe" status (2000+ members) in 1974. Billing itself as "the largest non-military parade in the world," it annually selects celebrity Grand Marshals who also preside over the Endymion Extravaganza held in the Louisiana SuperDome immediately following the Parade. The motto of this Krew is: "Token of Youth" and its members also boast the phrase: "Throw 'Til It Hurts!"
Parades feature some of the largest floats as well as famous faces of movies, music and television. Past Grand Marshals include the likes of Bobby Vinton, Chuck Norris and Britney Spears. The 2009 theme is "Tales of Sleep and Dreams."
