 The first Krewes to parade during Mardi Gras are referred to as "old line krewes".These include the Mistick Krewe of Comus, the Krewe of Proteus, Rex, Twelfth Night Revelers, and the Knights of Momus.While there is no official definition for "super Krewe", it is generally accepted that a super krewe possesses over 1000 active dues paying members and maintains at least 500 riders for its parade each carnival.
