About this Event
This ticket counts as your annual Krewe Membership dues and entry into the 2025 parade and afterparty. We also encourage members to attend our events throughout the year, such as May the Fourth, Midsummer Mardi Gras, Alien Beach Party, Set Your Phasers to Stunning, and more!
The Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus (IKoC) is a Mardi Gras parade organization for revelrous Star Wars freaks, Trekkies, Whovians, mega-geeks, gamers, cosplayers, circuit benders, cryptozoologists, UFO conspiracy theorists, mad scientists, and all super nerds. Chewbacchus is founded on improving the known ‘Verse through community and revelry. In joining together to craft, costume, parade, and socialize, we build stronger connections and a better world.
We are the Future of Revelry. We are the first truly open source parade with an emphasis on DIY, homemade, and sustainable materials and practices. Any and all fandoms are welcome, and members can build almost any contraption to roll in the parade, as long as they can be pushed, pedaled, pulled, or electric-powered (particle propulsion accepted). We utilize tricycles, shopping carts, robotic power chairs, rickshaws, golf carts, and more.
IKoC members create an impressive variety of handmade crafts for paradegoers, but some of our signature throws are bandoliers, “bando blocks” (signature collectible blocks to decorate the bandoliers), and pocket shrines for our Sacred Drunken Wookiee.
After rolling through the streets of New Orleans dispensing the blessings of Our Sacred Drunken Wookiee to the masses, Chewbacchus members attend THE CHEWBACCHANAL! This post-parade party is a place to reconvene with parade friends and members of the public to celebrate the evening’s march. The party features bands, DJs, and lots of goodwill. The public can purchase tickets to the Chewbacchanal, but entry is included in annual membership dues. ALL HAIL!
