On October 20, 2011, the New Orleans City Council voted 7-0 in favor of putting forth a motion for the all-female Krewe of Nyx Parade to roll in 2012.

One of the 'motions or resolutions not on the agenda', Resolution R11-498, was presented by Councilmembers Cynthia Hedge-Morrell, Eric Granderson and Kristen Gisleson Palmer 'supporting the application of the Krewe of Nyx to roll in the 2012 Mardi Gras season and intending to add them to the parade schedule.'

What this means, in a nutshell, is that the Mystic Krewe of Nyx has an excellent chance of becoming the first new parade krewe to roll in New Orleans in 7 years.   Nyx plans to roll February 15, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. along the traditional Uptown New Orleans parade route.
