The Krewe of Barkus is a New Orleans Mardi Gras parade whose participants are dogs costumed according to a central parade theme and escorted by their human owners. Originally created in November 1992, the krewe was not granted parading status by the city of New Orleans until 1994. The Krewe is reigned over by a King and Queen and registration fees for members are donated to local chapters of the SPCA.

Themes over the years have included: Jurassic Bark, 2001: A Dog Odyssey, the Wizard of Paws, Tails From the Crypt and Raiders of the Lost Bark.
