The Conde Explorers is Mobile’s first integrated Mardi Gras society. Founded in 2004 to bring together men and women of all races to celebrate Mardi Gras, the Conde Explorers are featured in The Order of Myths, the 2008 award-winning documentary on Mobile’s Mardi Gras.
Our parade rolls through downtown Mobile ten days before Mardi Gras Day. The society’s ball is held the same night at the Mobile Convention Center after the parade. The organization currently has about a hundred and fifty members and welcomes men and women of all races.
