The Merry Antoinettes
A Mardi Gras Krewe celebrating the glamour, revelry and cheekiness of Marie Antoinette and her court. To join and be Merry does not require auditions. Bisous.
As a creative collaborative of scandalous party queens, we embrace the extravagance of the French 18th century and bring it to life all year round, by participating in events throughout the city. Mardi Gras is our primary playground doused in Champagne, but beware we love to throw cake! We are a referral based membership, which means that you are nominated to join by currently participating member

Sadly, it looks like it is going to rain on our parade… for weather related reasons outside of our control, The Merry Antoinettes will no longer be marching in Sparta on Saturday. Hoping for sunnier days through the rest of Carnival! 😭☔️

Not that long ago, we were running around town in our panniers and corsets and not much else to beat the heat for Southern Decadence. Here’s hoping warmer days are coming our way soon! 🥶🥶
