A: The Krewe of Solis shines with the spirit of sisterhood, sunshine, and celebration. We are a vibrant community of women who uplift one another through friendship, philanthropy, and fierce fun. Rooted in the heart of Tampa Bay, we honor the traditions of Krewe culture while blazing our own radiant path—one parade, party, and purpose-driven moment at a time. Whether we’re raising a glass in celebration or giving back to our community, we believe that girls just wanna have sun—and make a difference while they do.
A. Membership is open to women 25+ who share our passion for sisterhood, vibrant social connections, and unforgettable experiences
A: You can fill out a membership application. After review, we’ll invite you to attend a meet-and-greet event or mixer. We want to ensure it's a good fit for both you and the Krewe!
A: Your first season with the Krewe of Solis includes a one-time New Member Induction Fee along with annual dues, combining to cover your inaugural year of membership. Each season after, only annual dues are required to maintain your membership.
These contributions support parade entries, operational needs, float upkeep, and the food and libations enjoyed during each parade. Every dollar is thoughtfully invested to ensure a vibrant, meaningful experience that fosters connection, celebration, and lasting memories.
A: We encourage active participation in social events, celebrations, and supporting each other. To keep our Krewe spirit strong, members are required to participate in at least two of our four parades each season — with one of those being either the Gasparilla Parade of Pirates or the Sant’ Yago Knight Parade. We get it — life is busy — and we build flexibility into everything we do. But trust us, the real magic (and memories) happen when we show up together! If there’s ever a situation where you’re unable to attend a required event, just let us know — communication is key, and we’ll work with you!
A: Not at all! While we love seeing each other as often as possible, we understand everyone has different commitments. You participate as your schedule allows.
A: From mixers and themed socials to parade appearances, we blend fun and fellowship throughout the year.
A: Yes! We love meeting new faces. Some events are member-exclusive, but many are open to guests, especially our mixers.
A: Absolutely—we love parade season! The Krewe of Solis proudly participates in several iconic Tampa Bay parades each year, including:
Parade participation is one of the most memorable and fun parts of being in the Krewe.
A: Yes! While there isn’t a set uniform just yet, parade attire is a big part of the Krewe experience. As a new Krewe, we’re inviting our founding members to help shape the signature look that will represent the Krewe of Solis.
For our first year(s), members will receive design guidelines to follow when curating their parade costumes. Once you’ve pulled together your perfect look, please send it to the board for feedback to ensure we maintain a cohesive and fabulous presence at each event.
We can’t wait to see the creativity and style each member brings to life!
A: Parade participation is reserved for members only. Whether you're riding or walking with our float, you must be an active member in good standing. While parades are just for the ladies, there are always opportunities for husbands, friends, and family to get involved — like volunteering as parade float security and walking alongside us during parades!
A: Nope—not even close! Our float is professionally built and remains the same for each parade, with only the theme and decor updated to match the event. You’re welcome to help with styling if you love that kind of thing, but no heavy lifting (or hot glue burns) required. Just show up, shine, and enjoy the ride!
A: While the Krewe of Solis is primarily a social krewe, we value community involvement. If a member has a cause that’s close to their heart and would like to rally support from the group, we’re more than happy to participate and lend a hand. However, our main focus remains on social events, celebrating sisterhood, and creating lasting memories together. Charity may come into play, but it’s not our central focus — we’re all about fun, friendship, and making incredible experiences!
