The Shriners are a very well known organization in the US, famous for participating in parades, building hospitals, putting on circuses, organizing an annual football game, constructing buildings in an "Moorish Revival" style, and holding a huge annual convention. They are a branch of the Freemasons.

Strictly speaking, I believe it's a tarbouche, not a fez. A fez is shorter and lacks the taper. (Yes, I realize that Wikipedia implies that the two terms are interchangeable, but I have it from someone who once lived in North Africa and who knows more about it than I do, that that's not the case.)
