If there’s one thing New Orleans is famous for it’s Parades! Costumes, music, performers, beads and more…add Pyrates and it can’t be beat! Our parades are walking parades, which means exactly that – only smaller floats are permitted (usually bicycle or human powered…or pulled by small animals)…lots of bands, performers, celebrities and of course throws of all kinds.

Cap’n Sandy (aka Alex McMurray) named
