King Kong
The King Kong float joined the Bacchus family when the
krewe presented its 1972 parade, The Bacchus Book of Horrors". The giant float stood
18-feet tall and quickly became a smashing success.

Bacchagator
A Bacchus mainstay for years, the
Bacchagator was introduced in the Krewe's 1986 parade. The 105-foot, three
piece float can accommodate 86 riders. Originally debuted as green, the
float was modified in 1997 to resemble the rare white "leucisitic"
alligator that makes it home at the New Orleans Aquarium of the Americas.
The alligator returned to green in the 2005 parade and remains that way to
the present date.

Bacchawhoppa
In 1991, the 85-foot long mammoth Bacchus whale
joined the parade. The Bacchawhoppa comfortably holds 68 Krewe members.
