About Us
We, the Krewe of Dystopian Paradise (KDP), in order to honor our perfectly imperfect union, hereby pledge to celebrate our city and each other, until we fall into the swamp, sink into the sea, succumb to the zombie apocalypse, or die of extremely boring natural causes.
We exist to unite parade and audience, neutral ground and sidewalk side, tourist and local, transplant and yat, in the fun, immersive, wild, beautiful worlds we create.
Our Values
Irreverence
A healthy dislike of righteousness, self- and otherwise
Revelry
Fuck yeah, it’s a parade!
Beauty
We want to create something people love looking at. We love being looked at. It’s almost the same thing
Expression
Freedom to be and to dance, to art and to parade
Absurdity
Sense is overrated. Long live nonsense!
Community
We’ll mock each other inside the krewe, and defend each other outside. We’re as close to family as you can get without getting your face all wet
Kindness
If you’re not a dick, we’ll spot you a band-aid, a sandwich, a cigarette, and a drink. Pay it forward, backward, or just show up next week
