Krewe of Venus

Krewe of Venus Established in 1965, the Krewe of Venus is the second oldest Krewe in Tampa. www.kreweofvenus.com The Krewe of Venus heritage extends over four decades in Tampa.

We are a co-ed social organization established to be a part of the Bay Area Krewe Festivities occurring throughout the year. Our founder, Mrs. Frank (Lucille) Cochran, and members of the Tampa Women's Club started our Krewe. The organization's and first year's activities were established with the assistance of the New Orleans Krewe of Venus. Since that year, fourty-six Kings and Queens have been c

rowned and lead our Gala events... a glittering part of the Tampa Bay Social Scene. In 1992, an Inter-Krewe Council was established to assist in the yearly scheduling of activities in the Bay area including Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, and Manatee counties. The Krewe is an active participant with the Inter-Krewe Council. A dozen parades are held in the area each Spring, and many of the Krewes support these many activities. The "Krewe" heritage is a blend of the traditions of the original "Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla" (established in 1904), Latin influences, a bit of New Orleans and Margi Gras, and local traditions.
