Year of
Fiyah

From black-tie celebrations to backyard-style fundraising, KOP's event calendar brings our community together throughout the year.\u00a0

Krewe of Pyros circular seal reading 'Bringin' Dat Fiyah' and 'Illuminating the Path to Empowerment', with dancers, a brass musician, and a flaming fleur-de-lis torch between the New Orleans and Washington, D.C. skylines

Mardi Gras Ball

Our signature, formal annual celebration each January at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center — the culmination of our program year.

Fiyah Fest & Mardi Gras Parade

A full cultural experience bringing the sights, sounds, and flavor of Louisiana Mardi Gras to the streets of the DMV — brass bands, masking, parade throws, and food that tastes like home.

Fiyah Golf Tournament

A day on the fairway supporting KOP's scholarship and community programs — bringing together members, sponsors, and friends of the krewe for friendly competition and fellowship.

Fundraising Brunch

A warm Sunday midday gathering where members, sponsors, and friends come together in support of the full breadth of KOP's work — from community service and education initiatives to cultural programming and scholarships.
