About The Krewe of Antheia
Welcome to the Krewe of Antheia, where the spirit of sisterhood and the joy of community come together in a vibrant tapestry of celebration. Nestled in the heart of Slidell, we are more than just a Mardi Gras Krewe; we are a gathering of women dedicated to making a difference, both in our lives and in the lives of those around us.
Our Inspiration
Drawing from the mythological essence of Antheia, the Greek goddess of flowers, swamps, and human connections, our Krewe embodies the beauty and resilience found in nature and in the bonds of friendship. Antheia’s spirit guides us in our mission to nurture a community where every woman can flourish.
Our Beginning
The Krewe of Antheia was founded in March 2022 by Taylor Frisard, Kathy Lowrey, Buffie Singletary, and Amy Thomas. These visionary women saw the need for a daytime parade in Slidell that celebrated the unique spirit and contributions of women. Their passion sparked the creation of a sisterhood that has since grown into a formidable force of over 200 members.
Our Mission
We are committed to creating an environment where positivity, love, and empowerment are at the forefront. Our Krewe is a place where women from all walks of life can come together to celebrate their individuality and strength. Through our parade and various community activities, we aim to spread joy and foster a sense of belonging.
Our Celebrations
The highlight of our year is the Mardi Gras parade, a spectacular event where we showcase our creativity and spirit. Our members delight the crowds with hand-decorated headbands, fascinators, and various signature items that capture the essence of our Krewe. This parade is not just a celebration; it’s a testament to the power of women coming together to create something magical.
Our Community Involvement
Beyond the parade, we are deeply involved in the Slidell community. From local events to community service projects, we strive to be a positive force, contributing to the welfare and growth of our city. Our activities are driven by a desire to make a tangible impact and to support one another in all our endeavors.
