The Parades of Mardi Gras



Parade Float


Parades are put on by carnival krewes (or organizations). Every year, each krewe picks a king and a queen who reign for that parade. The floats are decorated to depict different themes. The floats are pulled by tractors. Most parades have at least 15 floats.

People who belong to the krewe ride on the floats. They throw beads, doubloons, cups, and trinkets to the crowd.

Maid and Duke Following the parade, the krewe usually has a ball presenting their king and queen, and their royal court. The royal court includes maids, dukes, pages, captains, and jesters.
