1. Beads and Cups or Duboons (more than town tiems are thrown but beads and cups are what you would get msot often because some krewes have stopped throwing duboons
2.the groups are called Krewes, each organization comes up with there themes, but most floats are made by Blaine Kern.
3. King Cake

There called Throws: Zulu coconuts, Dubloons, Beads, Candy, Little toys, and Throw Cups.
That’s the krewes (pronounced crews). They organize everything.
And the cake is King Cake.
