The Krewe of Columbus is a not-for-profit corporation chartered in 1959 to promote and commemorate the achievements of Christopher Columbus. The organization is an official sponsor of Tampa's annual Columbus Day Commemoration. The Queen Isabella Coronation is the organization's annual event that selects, by lottery, the honorary Queen Isabella that represents the Columbus Celebration at civic and cultural events for a twelve-month period.

Members of the Krewe are all costumed in lavish authentic 15th Century Renaissance attire that is representative of those worn at the time of Columbus's voyages. A specially designed float will serve as the stage of the parade unit.

Membership to the Krewe is limited. Candidates for membership are men and women, age 18 and older who have interest in the organization's mission in the community. All candidates will be subject to a criminal record background check.
