Krewe of Blues started in 2010 & is still involved in Mardi Gras and supporting local charities. From a tiny acorn grows the mighty oak.

And so goes the story of the Krewe of Blues, which in 2010 grew from 7 original members to many blues music and Mardi Gras revelry enthusiasts! The first organizational meeting of the krewe, was January 18, 2010. A scant one month later, on February 13, 2010, the newly-formed krewe joined in on the 2010 Mardi Gras revelry with 7 members, 2 dressed in Blues Brothers’ garb tossing beads from the roof of what was then Blazzues Blues & Jazz Club during the Pensacola Grand Mardi Gras Parade. Following the 2010 Mardi Gras season, the fledgling organization began recruiting members and holding regularly-scheduled meetings. The 1st general membership meeting was conducted June 16, 2010 with 15 members in attendance. By the end of June, the krewe had grown to 24 . In that inaugural year the krewe, given the nickname KOB by its members, worked feverishly to deliver on the promise made during the Mardi Gras 2010 interview. On January 6, 2011, they succeeded and KOB’s original float depicting scenes from what is arguably the most famous jazz & blues city in the world, New Orleans, hit Palafox Street for its first public showing at Pensacola’s 12th Night Celebration.

The Krewe of Blues is extremely grateful for all of the support for the Pin and Bead Festival and Charity Diaper Drive over the past 15 years! As many know, this is no small undertaking to put on the Bead Festival each year with so many moving parts involved. Thank you to the Pensacola Community, Mardi Gras Krewes, Vendors, Sponsors, Event Volunteers and all of our Krewe of Blues Members, without all of them this event would not be possible!

We are excited to be crowned "Favorite Krewe Event" for The Favies! Again, a huge thanks to our amazing community for making this possible. We couldn't have done it without you! We look forward to seeing everyone at the next Pin and Bead Festival on 17 January 2027!
