About this app
Beacon 42 is the official parade-day companion app for members of the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus, New Orleans' sci-fi, fantasy, and DIY-themed Mardi Gras krewe.
What it does
On parade day, krewe members can share their real-time location with krewe administrators. This helps coordinators keep track of where everyone is along the parade route, ensuring smooth lineup operations and quick response to any issues.
Key features
• Location sharing: Enable GPS tracking with a single tap. Your location is visible only to krewe administrators—not other members. Disable it anytime.
• Push notifications: Receive important announcements from krewe leadership during the parade, including lineup updates, route changes, and emergency communications.
• SubKrewe display: See your SubKrewe affiliation and parade position information at a glance.
• Simple, focused interface: No clutter. Just the essential tools you need on parade day.
Privacy-first design
Location sharing is entirely opt-in. When disabled, no GPS data is collected or transmitted. Location data is used solely for parade-day coordination and is not retained after the event. Push notification tokens are used exclusively for krewe communications.
Who is this for?
This app is designed specifically for registered members of the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus. You must have a valid member account to log in and use the app. If you're not a member but want to join the krewe, visit chewbacchus.org to learn more about membership.
