It was revived on March 31, 2018, from its original chapter, the Krewe of Apollo New Orleans, which was conceived in 1969 and eventually grew to include chapters that are still active in Baton Rouge, Birmingham, and Lafayette. Unfortunately, until a few years ago, the original New Orleans chapter was not active. When so many of its members fell to the AIDS epidemic in the mid-1980s, the original Krewe of Apollo New Orleans ceased to exist from 1986 until 2018. But it is back now to fully serve its community as a public charity (under IRS Section 501(c)3).In this 50th year after its founding (2019-2020), a dedicated group of 21 members (including three from the original chapter) worked to put on the Mystic Krewe of Apollo de New Orleans “Resurrection Ball” on Feb. 14, 2020, at the Hotel Monteleone (an important part of the Krewe’s history, since it was the first gay Mardi Gras organization to come out of the shadows and hold a ball in a five-star hotel during early part of its history). After nearly two years of Covid-related delays, the Krewe now is working to present \"Apollo Gets a Clue,\" which will feature the Krewe's first full tableau since the 1980s, as well as a three-course dinner and entertainment.While the Mardi Gras ball is a major event in the life of the Krewe, its overall mission is Service, Duty and Honor, which means the Krewe works all year long to support the GLBTQ+ community, as well as a variety of other philanthropic causes." } ] } ] ```
