CELEBRATING THE SPIRIT OF HALLOWEEN WITH THE LEGEND OF THE ROUGAROU
Where Folklore Meets Compassion
Krewe de Rougarou was born from a small circle of friends who believed every celebration should make the world a little kinder. United by a love of Halloween and a heart for service, they created a krewe devoted to year‑round charity, welcoming everyone into the fun. From our biggest bashes to our smallest gatherings, we work to make every event inclusive, accessible, and joy‑filled. Along the way, we proudly advocate for animals and for people with intellectual disabilities, raising awareness and support for all who share our community.

PET FOOD DRIVE
Through the spirit of transformation, we turn folklore into tangible community action. Our first charitable event was a pet food drive. Members of Krewe De Rougarou gathered at St. Baranabas Episcipol Church in Lafayette, La. to collect pet food and pet necessities. Through our efforts we were able to raise awareness about the needs of our furry friends and engage the local community. We collected 24 bags of pet food, two cases of canned pet food and $175 in monetary contributions. All proceeds were donated to Acadiana Animal Aide. Every act of service is a step toward a more united and brilliant community where no creature is left in the shadows.
