For over 16 years, Krewe De Krunk has been bringing high-energy excitement and unforgettable experiences to Mardi Gras parades across Louisiana. Founded by Lance Ruffins, the krewe was born from his natural ability to keep the crowd hyped and energized—hence the name, Krewe De Krunk. With a deep passion for community, celebration, and Southern tradition, this krewe has cemented itself as a staple in the region's parade culture, rolling in every major parade throughout Louisiana and beyond.


A Krewe for Everyone

Unlike traditional krewes, Krewe De Krunk prides itself on being accessible to all. There are no membership fees—at least not yet. However, beginning this year, a membership fee will be introduced to help continue the krewe’s growth and impact. To keep it affordable for everyone, members are charged per parade, allowing participants to take part without a long-term financial commitment.


Joining the krewe is a simple process—attend meetings, abide by the laws, and you’re welcomed in. It’s a group built on community, fun, and the love of Mardi Gras, making it the perfect place for people of all backgrounds to come together and celebrate. Best of all, any age can participate, making it a family-friendly krewe where lifelong memories are made.


Meet the Leadership

Krewe De Krunk wouldn’t be what it is today without strong leadership. In addition to Lance Ruffins, the krewe is led by a dedicated team including Shelby Robin, Erin Bramalete, Chris Arceneaux, and Hunter Jones. Together, they ensure that each parade is an electrifying experience and that the krewe continues to grow while staying true to its roots.
