Organized in 1874, the Knights of Revelry is the third oldest Mardi Gras parading group in Mobile, Alabama. From the start, KOR has paraded during the day on Fat Tuesday.

In the earliest years, the KOR emblem float had folly dancing on a golden goblet between two crescent moons. In later years, the cup became a champagne glass. Folly vigorously beats the sides of that glass with inflated cow bladders. The loud wallops are meant to chase away evil.

This year's parade, with fourteen floats, paid tribute to famous and beloved "Side Kicks and Second Fiddles". The floats were designed by Mark Calametti and built by Steve Mussel's Mirth Company.

The Knights of Revelry has about two hundred and eighty active members, plus associates, honorary and senior honorary members. All new members come in as associates and can become full members after a year, as spots open up.
