The Krewe participates in parades as a way to honor and support our troops as they fly the flags of the country and branches of our military services. Their float can be seen in the forefront of the Pensacola Mardi Gras parade, Veteran’s Day Parade and Christmas Parade. Throughout the year, the Krewe hosts membership social events as part of the perks of joining the organization which can be viewed on their Facebook page – Krewe of Avant Garde.
From Patty Veal Krewe of Avant Garde The Krewe of Avant Garde invites the community to their annual Mardi Gras Ball at 6 p.m., Feb. 15 at the Pensacola Yacht Club to show their support for the military service members and enjoy live music by Dr. Breeze, food, fun and more provided. Tickets are $30 each for non-members and can be purchased in advance or at the door via check for this black-tie and military dress optional event. The Krewe of Avant Garde has been in existence since 1983
The Mardi Gras Ball Chair Dean Kirschner said, “Our Mardi Gras Ball is open to the public to come and see what our Krewe is all about. Although we honor our military, you do not need to be in the military to join our organization or participate in our events. We are a social organization – no speeches and no agenda other than to have fun and honor those who server and have served in our military.” The evening begins at 6 p.m. with a social hour followed by dinner, program, and dancing.
