Records and numerous media accounts help to complet the picture.įounded by Loyola University fraternity brothers and their friends, determined to make a splash even when resources were scarce (using boats on trailers as floats, when needed), Tucks steadily gained members, grand floats and marketing clout through the years. This book tells the Tucks story through images, illustrations and vivid memories of krewe members. A half-century ago, a new sort of Carnival organization, the Krewe of Tucks, began challenging tradition, infusing the celebration with new rituals and symbols, leaving its own mark on the New Orleans cultural narrative. The Carnival parading and gala season is all about tradition, ritual and a sense of history blended with fun.
