The Krewe of Palmyra began in April of 2006 from a planned Space Age Love tubing trip into a protest of no more parades in Mid-City 2nd Line Parade and Soiree.
Palmyra evolved from a discussion between Cindy Cripps and Robbie Schexnayder to invite members of T.O.K.I.N. to join the Krewe of Space Age Love tubing trip. The conversation then turned into why not throw a block party as we realized the group was a little large to go tubing.
Why not invite our friends from Krewe du Vieux and other organizations who are now deprived of parades, music and food after months of Krewe du Vieux, Mardi Gras,
French Quarter Fest and Jazz Fest.
It was then the Krewe of Palmyra was born, stolen from the banks of the Tchfunte River to Palmyra Street. We decided to have a Parade to protest no more Mid-City parade in Mid-City . The Krewe of Space Age Love, T.O.K.I.N., Krewe of Rue Bourbon, New Orleans Hash House and Fabulous Floozies were the first planning group whose contributions and time made the first Krewe of Palmyra Parade & Soiree happen.
Our first theme was "Palmyra Goes Tubular"
Queen Palmyra I was Cindy Cripps
The Royal Consort & Chauffeur - Jim Cripps
Captain Palmyra 2006 - Robbie Schexnayder
