A 501(c)(3) Mardi Gras krewe keeping the spirit, festivities, and Louisiana-rooted traditions alive on the Island — and giving it all back to the community.
Countdown to Mardi Gras 2027
Da Krewe du Roux was founded in 2017 to bring the original spirit, festivities, and traditions of Mardi Gras to the city of Galveston, Texas. We’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that hosts events all year, with proceeds benefiting El Mina Shriners of Galveston and The Ronald McDonald House.
Since our founding, we’ve donated over $120,000 to these two organizations. We rely on our sponsors and event attendees to fulfill those charitable pledges — and we look forward to many more years of hosting great events, having fun, and helping our community.
