The Mystic Krewe of Hermes is a historic Carnival organization founded in 1937, renowned for being the longest-running night parading krewe in New Orleans. Known for its commitment to craftsmanship and storytelling, the krewe hosts a visually stunning parade each year on the Friday before Shrove Tuesday, along with a unique Walking Parade through the French Quarter earlier that same day.
Hermes has received numerous accolades, including the titles of Best Night Parade and Best Overall Parade from Gambit Weekly's Carnival critic. The festivities culminate with the Grand Ball, featuring the secret reveal of the King, maintaining a cherished tradition that exemplifies the spirit of entertainment and celebration in New Orleans.
