Annual Events

Happy Hours: Hosted at different bars and restaurants around Memphis, our monthly happy hours give members regular opportunities to see friends and hang out with current and prospective members while enjoying drink specials for our group.

Annual Meeting: This party in August officially kicks off our year! The incoming Board slate is announced and the outgoing Board is thanked for their hard work and service.

Poker Run: Our annual Poker Run fundraiser benefiting the Carnival Memphis Children’s Charities is a progressive party that’s part bar crawl and part poker game.

Fall Party: Our annual Halloween celebration has grown to be one of Ptolemy’s largest parties, drawing members, other krewes, friends, and prospective members. Some years this party has a theme but costumes are always encouraged!

Christmas Party: Members enjoy food, drink and fellowship at our festive holiday party. We celebrate the giving season by collecting a charitable donation each year.

Medallion Party: Ptolemy’s newest members are welcomed into the Krewe at this event as they receive their official Ptolemy medallions (to wear to Carnival events)!

St. Patrick’s Day & Liberty Bowl Parades: Ride down Beale Street showering parade spectators with beads throws of all kind on the Ptolemy float!

Coronation: This black tie event is the formal announcement and presentation of our Queen, King, Duchesses, and Flagman. It’s always a blast and usually ends with the new royalty singing and dancing on stage.

Carnival Week Clubroom: Our legendary Carnival Week theme party is always one to remember. Past themes include Roaring 20s, Big Hair Don’t Care, Ptolemy Ptailgate, and A Night in Ancient Greece.

Fall and Summer Dinner Parties: Hosted by members, these smaller gettogethers give members an opportunity to get to know each other better.

Ptolemy members are also invited to Carnival Memphis and other krewes’ events throughout the year!
