ABOUT THE ROYAL ORDER OF UNICORN

OUR HISTORY

 The Royal Order of Unicorn was formed in 1983 as a mystic krewe in Acadiana. For more than four decades, ROU has brought people together through Mardi Gras, friendship, community, and tradition. What began as a krewe has grown into a close-knit family dedicated to celebrating Mardi Gras while giving back to the community.

MARDI GRAS • TRADITION • FAMILY

 Every year, our members come together to create costumes, celebrate Mardi Gras, and prepare for our annual Bal Masque. ROU is more than a Mardi Gras krewe — we are a family that enjoys making memories together and sharing the spirit of Mardi Gras with our community.
