KREWE OF CORK®

“We celebrate Wine! Food! Fun!” says King Patrick van Hoorebeek, speaking of the Krewe of Cork. Founded in 2000, the Krewe of Cork has grown into a world-famous Mardi Gras and wine industry phenomenon. Krewe members gather on selected Fridays, usually the first Friday of each month, at restaurants throughout the area for T.G.I.C.D (Thank Goodness It’s Cork Day).

The main events of the year

The Krewe’s two main events of the year are the Mardi Gras season parade day festivities, and participation in the New Orleans Wine and Food Experience Royal Street Stroll. Throughout the year, we invite members to wine dinners and other special occasions such as road trips and wine tastings.

The Mardi Gras season parade day celebration is always two Fridays before Mardi Gras itself and is filled with the three things the Krewe loves most- Wine, Food, and Fun! 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 wine, of course, and lunch, and wine, a brass band, High School Marching Band along with Dancers and more wine.
