​MARDI GRAS LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE

This website is dedicated solely to education about the history of Mardi Gras through the favors they have made. We, as collectors, have taken pictures of pieces we have seen and items in our collections and have compiled them into this website. 
What is a Krewe Favor? A krewe favor is any piece of jewelry, ducal, or item that the krewe gave out to their members as a gift for a particular year. This does not include beads, or any form of plastic.

Why does this website exist?

In all of history, nobody created a full catalogue of every Mardi Gras Favor produced. Our goal for this website is to create the world's best resource catalogue for Mardi Gras memorabilia.  We add to this catalogue weekly, as new favors are always being discovered. This resource will always be free to everyone, as we believe in sharing the beauty of Mardi Gras, past, present, and future.
