The Krewe of Orpheus is a renowned Mardi Gras organization in New Orleans, Louisiana, known for its extravagant parades and celebrity monarchs. Since its establishment in 1993, the krewe has featured a prominent figure as its Celebrity Monarch each year, with the likes of Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka reigning in 2024.
