Krewe of Petronius
The “Grande Dame” of gay Carnival balls, and one of the oldest gay organizations in the world, Petronius was founded in 1961. The Krewe of Petronius is renowned for staging ever more elaborate balls each year. The krewe began initially to poke fun at the stodgy, royalty-fixated straight balls, and to create a reason for dressing in drag. Aside from Halloween, this was the only time it was legal to cross-dress in New Orleans pre-Jim Garrison and Stonewall. Over the years, Petronius has become one of the major establishment events in New Orleans. From staging its balls in people’s homes, to the ILA hall, to the St. Bernard Parish Auditorium and, the Municipal Auditorium, to the Theatre of the Performing Arts, back to the St. Bernard Auditorium, Petronius is now recognized as one of New Orleans’ most unique cultural institutions.
