What is a Rio membership?
A Rio membership is comprised of a primary member plus a secondary member or guest. At this time, we do not offer single memberships.
The Benefits of Membership
Membership in the Krewe of Rio comes a terrific package of benefits.
1. Two Admissions to the our members-only summer dance party, the Rio Sambada.
2. Two Admissions to the annual Rio Ball in January.
3. Two spots on a float in our annual Rio Parada. Actually, it’s like being a member of a family group within the krewe!
4. Two Admissions to our annual Crawfish Boil
