While Shriners International might be the best known fez wearing group, there are several Masonic bodies that also wear fezzes.

The Mystic Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm, better known as the Grotto, was founded in the late 1800's in upstate New York.

The organization spread rapidly, with hundreds of local chapters popping up across the country.

Judging from this early picture of the founders of the group, they definitely knew how to have fun!
