Krewe of Thoth

The Krewe of Thoth is unique in Carnival as their parade's unique route passes a children's hospital and several nursing homes, giving them their nickname as the "Krewe of Shut-ins", allowing those who may not get a chance to see a parade to get a close up view. Toth parades on the Sunday before Mardi Gras.
