Ptolemy

The Grand Krewe of Ptolemy was formed in 2000. The mission of Ptolemy is to serve as a vehicle for a diverse range of people to enjoy Carnival Memphis and thereby uphold and perpetuate its traditions. Ptolemy will strive to present an array of festive events during Carnival week and present community service opportunities throughout the year. Just as the Ptolemaic dynasty melded Egyptian and Hellenistic cultures to a greater whole, this dual emphasis on activities will preserve a rich tradition while building a future for carnival.
