Krewe of Lafitte

The largest men's Krewe along the Florida Panhandle

300 Gentleman Pirates, Twelve Floats,
Ten+ Parades, Three Formal Balls,
Fellowship, Camaraderie, Goodwill and Community Service!

The Krewe of Lafitte is a society of gentlemen, formed in 1954, whose purpose is to foster fellowship and equality within its membership and share goodwill and community service throughout the region. Our goal is to build lifelong friendships among our members and give back to our communities and the charities we support in NW Florida. We will entertain the people of Pensacola during the Mardi Gras season with our own Lafitte’s Illuminated Parade featuring our 13 hand-built, pirate-themed floats, joined by other organizations in our area, throwing beads, stuffed animals, moon pies and other surprises to the awaiting crowds. We will also further entertain the public by participating in the Pensacola Grand Mardi Gras Parade, Pensacola Beach Mardi Gras Parade, Pensacola Christmas Parade, Pensacola Beach Christmas Parade and Pensacola Grand Fiesta Parade. We participate in several parades and festivals throughout the region, with our 3 traveling floats. In addition to all the communities we will entertain, we will support, through our Foundation and our members, various prostate awareness, education, and wellness entities with our annual Pirates for Prostates Golf Tournament. We will make “Good Will – Giving Back to the Community” visits to various schools, ARC, Children’s Hospital and Ronald McDonald House. We will also participate with our brother Krewes, Springtime Tallahassee and the Rough Riders in their annual “Teddy Bear Run” visiting with the special children in Leon County, Florida during the Springtime Tallahassee Festival. We also love working with the other area Krewes like Krewe of Airship Pirates, Krewe von Prost, Krewe of Aphrodite, Krewe of Vixens and many more. We also assist with relief efforts when a crisis arises within our community, state, or region through our Foundation. We strive to give back to our communities and our charities.

The 2nd Annual “Pack the Pirate Ship” food drive to benefit Manna Food Pantry was December 17, 2021. We collected over 4,500 pounds in food donations and more than $7,000 in financial gifts-the equivalent of more than 8,960 healthy meals for our neighbors in need!! Many thanks to Astro Lincoln and the Blue Wahoos for making the event possible. Thanks to WKRG and Meteorologist Ed Bloodsworth for covering the event. And a special shout out and thank you to Warren Culbertson and family, Jeffery Morris and family and all others that made a donation!
