Join BEANLANDIA with a monthly contribution!
The magic of New Orleans is in its culture.
Made by the people; the soul of the city!
The Krewe of Red Beans (KRB)
is a walking parade held every year on Lundi Gras. Members glue beans to suits, sculptures, and/or anything wearable and parade on through our neighborhood streets alongside local brass bands.
…but We’re not Just a Walking Krewe; We Have a Mission!
The Krewe of Red Beans rose to the challenge of the pandemic and created the anchor of a vibrant community in the process! We are the Mardi Gras Krewe that accidentally became a powerful and joyful force for good in New Orleans, by feeding Front-Line workers, delivering groceries to elders, creating jobs for out-of-work artists, and more. Read more about our initiatives that drew national coverage here.
KRB Mission Statement
“Seeking to support and respond to the needs of the diverse New Orleans community, the Krewe of Red Beans, with joy and love, strives to amplify the creativity of New Orleans as a force for good.”
KRB Values
Accountibility, Creativity, Diversity, Love & Respect, Community
BEANLANDIA,
our Krewe headquarters in the Bywater, is not just a museum of beans and our artfully beaned suits. It is a member-supported cultural center, an educational space, and a place where we can come together and connect to build and support our community.
