Saturday Night Fever at Karin's house was so much fun! We socialized, snacked and watched the movie together. Some even watched from the pool - how cool! Thanks to
Karin for hosting and to everyone who set up, came, and cleaned up.
Thirty of us went to the Krewe of Cheers Glow Ball - what a blast. Great dancing and lots of fun. Hope even more Marionettes go next year!
Do you have friends who want to join our Krewe? Membership for the 2026-2027 season is now open. Invite your friends to join us.

About Us
The Krewe of Marionettes was founded in January, 1957. We are an all-female Krewe and among the oldest Krewes in Pensacola, Florida. We have social activities throughout the year and a formal ball during the Mardi Gras season. We participate in many Mardi Gras activities including Twelfth Night, KOB Pin & Bead Festival, Fat Tuesday and the Pensacola Grand Mardi Gras Parade. We have Krewe activities throughout the year, typically 1-2 per month, and we participate in Fiesta Pensacola activities.
Our 2026-2027 charity is Pace Center for Girls.
Members are welcome to participate in as many (or as few) events as they want. Spouses/partners are welcome at many of our activities.
