Who Are Shriners

Shriners, and their distinctive fezzes (the tasseled burgundy headwear), are among the most recognizable organizations and symbols in the world. You see Shriners at parades and many community events. Its members enjoy their association, where men of all walks of life convene to have fun, and do good works.
