About The Digger Krewe

The word "Krewe" is a generic term used to describe any carnival organization or club. The word was coined by the oldest such organization in New Orleans, the Mystik Krewe of Comus who believed in 1857 that the word gave the club's name an "olde-English" flavor.
Here in St. Louis the Soulard Mardi Gras Grand Parade is made up of many Krewes, one of which is the Digger Krewe.

The Digger Krewe was founed in 2004 prides itself on being an open Krewe - open to our friends and anyone who is willing to participate and contribute to the cause (of fun).
