The men and women who protect New Orleans are an essential part of the city. Hermes Beyond the Parade Foundation was created to enable members to give back to the community. We place a special emphasis on helping our first responders do their job.

A major expansion of the Hermes Den is underway. For years, we've been located at 418-436 Sixth St. We recently acquired the purple warehouse at 2901 Tchoupitoulas St., and the adjacent property. In the future, the purple warehouse may become a Hermes museum and event space. Stay tuned for more!

“King Hermes” by Manuel Ponce, float concept sketch for the 2025 Hermes Parade, “Visions of Joan D’Arc.”
The first step in creating floats involves a series of sketches that the team uses to design and build the floats. Hermes takes pride in its intricately designed floats.
