What is Mardi Gras?
“Mardi Gras” is French for “Fat Tuesday” and refers to the last night of eating and drinking before the fasting of the Lenten season,
which begins on Ash Wednesday

A “krewe” is an organization that produces a bal, parade, or float
during the carnival season.

What is the Krewe of Calypseaux?
We are a parading krewe based in St. Charles, MO.
We participate in the Soulard Mardi Gras
Parades, and several other area parades throughout
the year

What is the Krewe of
Calypseaux all about?
The Krewe of Calypseaux is dedicated to providing
a high-quality float to entertain the community.
And to have fun while doing it!

What’s with the
Mermaids?Mark and Rita
are our mascots and ride with us in all of our parades! They
came to us from Eureka Springs
Arkansas

Why such a funny name –
can’t you people spell?
We liked “Calypso” but it was already
taken by a krewe in Port Arthur, TX… so we just “cajunized”
the spelling… it sounds the same!
![Page 8: Krewe of calypseaux slideshow](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070317/5564b1edd8b42a3e618b4987/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What are your floats like?
The Krewe of Calypseaux has two permanent parade
floats.
We enjoy decorating these floats and work on them
all year long to prepare for parade season!

How competitive is your krewe?
We do this for fun… but are proud to
say that our floats are crowd favorites
and consistently take home awards

I am not particularly handy or artistic, can I still join the krewe?
Of course you can! We enjoy fun people of all
types! And who knows, you may discover a
hidden talent for covering things with
glitter!
