Joan of Arc's famous line, "Courage! Do not fall back; in a little the place will be yours. Watch! When the wind blows my banner against the bulwark, you shall take it," was spoken during the Siege of Orléans (specifically the assault on Les Tourelles) around May 7, 1429, encouraging French soldiers to press forward, showing her leadership and faith as she rallied troops to take a key English stronghold.
For 2026, the Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc’s collectible annual Joan of Arc saint medallion features an image from our 2024 Joan of Art juried art exhibition, “Courage” by New Orleans Jackson Square artist Tara Gass-Braden. The original piece is made out of four layers of intricate hand-cut paper and is part of the artist’s Hometown Heroes series.
Will you be a lucky recipient of this party favor at Joan of Arc‘s birthday celebration?

Here, here! The French Quarter is dear to us—let’s keep it healthy! After all, it’s where Joanie on the pony lives!!!
Our parade helps businesses for one night in January that the quarter may otherwise be less busy (for example it’s on a Tuesday this year-that would otherwise be a slow night)— but they need support the other 364 days of the year as well!!!
If you can, try to plan to dine in the quarter before or after our parade —or make a staycation of it, and book a night in a hotel there! For those of you coming from out of town to see the parade, we thank you !!!! You’re helping support New Orleans with your post-holidays pre-Mardi Gras season visit!!!!French Quarter restaurants are in make-or-break mode after disruptive year: ‘Not normal at all’ www.nola.com/entertainment_life/eat-drink/french-quarter-restaurants-immigration-sweeps/article_5...
“I’ve been running around the Quarter since I was a teenager, and there’s more cool local stuff here now than ever. The concern is how can local places make it through whatever this downturn is and survive.”

Another amazing throw available for our members to purchase & hand out on January 6, in honor of Joan of Arc’s birthday!!!
What gifts might you receive along the route on Twelfth Night?
Krewe members and volunteers were compiling and decorating these last weekend at Captain Amanda’s, and will be working on more this weekend!
This booklet compiles images of authentic medieval manuscripts, a jeweled treasure binding, and authentic medieval depictions of angel musicians and Saint Michael to create a new "manuscript" of the actual medieval sheet music for the songs performed by Saint Michael's Angel Army Choir, which accompanies the Saint Michael character in our parade in the Voices of Joan battalion.
Saint Michael is portrayed krewe co-captain Amanda Helm!!!
