Dionysus (or Bacchus in Roman Mythology) is the ancient Greek God (or Olympian) of winemaking and wine, along with “inspired madness.” It is with that in mind that The Krewe of Dionysus was founded in 1985 by a group of Northshore businessmen with the intention of bringing a family oriented old fashioned Mardi Gras good time to the City of Slidell.

The King of Dionysus is selected by the membership during the annual Coronation Ball. The King then selects his queen and the two reign for a full year.

For the last thirteen years, the Krewe has chosen a young man to be our GRAND MARSHALL. These young men have faced life’s challenges head on; it is this spirit that inspires the Krewe in everything we do. The courage of these young men and their families is hard for most to comprehend, but not the Krewe. This is why we rally behind him and his family to lead the Krewe on parade day.
