Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc walks in HermesFebruary 28, 2025, 5:30pmKrewe de Jeanne d'Arc has been invited to walk with Krewe of Hermes in their Uptown parade this Friday, February 28, creating a historic moment for both krewes.

The Krewe of Hermes has created 26 beautiful original Kern Studio floats celebrating the story of Joan of Arc and has invited the Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc to walk in celebration of their theme “Visions of Joan of Arc.” Look for Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc to be led by The Nola Angels dressed as medieval flag corps, followed by krewe participants dressed in medieval attire carrying krewe banners and battery operated lanterns, walking in front of and behind our 2025 Maid of Honor Life Sacco on horseback.

Approximately 75 Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc members will march in front of Hermes’ float 33, which depicts the golden Joan of Arc statue in the French Quarter, affectionately known as “Joanie on the Pony”.

Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc is honored to be the first fellow krewe that the historic Krewe of Hermes has ever invited to join them in their parade. Their historically accurate narrative tribute to Joan is a testament to the special place Jeanne d’Arc holds in the hearts of New Orleanians.

Hermes was founded in 1937 by a group of businessman and named after Hermes, the Greek god of commerce and travelers. The krewe marches the Friday before Fat Tuesday. The parade starts at the intersection of magazine and Jefferson Street at 5:30 PM.

Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc was founded in 2008 as an artistic theatrical procession depicting the life of Joan of Arc on her birthday, January 6. The Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc marches every Twelfth Night in the French Quarter. ... See MoreSee Less

Joan of Arc Book Club February 8, 2025, 10:00amCafé NOMABook: "Lost and Found in Paris" by Lian Dolan, a novel that features Joan of Arc and a mystery involving stolen art. The story follows Joan Blakely, an art historian who accepts a job to courier a portfolio of Joan of Arc sketches from a museum in Pasadena to a collector in Paris. The sketches are stolen, and Joan sets out to recover them. The author calls the book “an art history scavenger hunt”.

We will visit the gallery with the medieval/Renaissance artwork, and there will be a brief art and Joan themed scavenger hunt for those who wish to participate (as a nod to our protagonist in “Lost and Found in Paris”)
