The day begins with the
check in party and continues as we parade through the French Quarter
donning wine and grape related costumes. The event culminates with a
King and Queen?s party that evening. In between there will be of
course wine, and lunch, and wine, and a brass band, and more wine.

There are two membership options for the Krewe of Cork - Sparkling and
Still. For the adventurous, interested in parading during Mardi Gras,
a Sparkling ($275) membership includes all of the festivities on
parade day, including the lunch, wine, and parade, an official Krewe
Pin, a baseball cap, one dozen custom made beads, a gift from the
King, and the King and Queen?s Party. For others who choose to remain
Still, ($25) the non-parading membership includes an official Krewe
Pin. All members will receive periodic newsletters from the Krewe of
Cork. Still members may attend the wine dinners and other functions
throughout the year. For more information visit www.kreweofcork.com or
