Caesar is the largest Carnival organization in Jefferson Parish history, and its floats, 'royal barges', and elaborate lit headpieces and costumes reflect its success.
A grand and opulent parade that is always the highlight of the Jefferson parading season, Caesar takes the name of an actual historical figure rather than a myth.  Formed by the leading businessmen and professionals of Jefferson Parish,  Caesar is also the parish's first superkrewe.  Aside from its traditionally-opulent parades and costumes, the krewe has also worked extensively with the Disney Corporation, presenting parades in the parks as well as bringing the Disney characters to Mardi Gras.
