The Krewe of Carrollton is a New Orleans parading group, or "Krewe", that was formed in 1924.〔("About," ) Krewe of Carrollton official website. Accessed Jan. 1, 2015.〕 Formed in the uptown neighborhood of Carrollton, Louisiana, the parade now rolls nine days before Fat Tuesday, during the first full weekend of Mardi Gras parades. This weekend is now commonly referred to as "Carrollton Weekend" among locals.〔Sunmer, Sally. ("GoNOLA Top 5: Daytime Mardi Gras Parades," ) GoNOLA (Jan. 17, 2012).〕 The riding membership now includes over 350 people. The krewe owns its own floats, which are stored in a den on Oak Street and are often rented out to other krewes for their parades. During the krewe's 1970 ride, a float was overturned by the wind while crossing the overpass on Jefferson Davis Parkway, killing a krewe member.〔DuBos, Clancy. ("Krewe to Their Roots," ) ''New Orleans Gambit'' (Jan. 22, 2008).〕 As a result of this accident, riders in all parades are now required to wear safety harnesses during parades. ==See also== * New Orleans Mardi Gras * Krewe * King Momo (Carnival character) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Krewe of Carrollton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
