This is it: Carnival’s 2025 finale. Even though we’re in the final stretch of Mardi Gras season, there are still more than 100 parades rolling over the next several days across the Capital Region and beyond.
Whether you want to participate in a chicken run, spend Fat Tuesday in the French Quarter, catch a boat parade out at Grand Isle or take in some family-friendly Carnival fun, Louisiana has a parade for that. Here’s our updated guide to parades around the state this season. Non-Capital Region parishes are listed alphabetically, and parades are ordered chronologically.
Editor’s note: Dates and start times are as of press time and are subject to change, so check with the krewes for the most up-to-date information before attending. Several parades were also canceled last weekend due to weather and may be rescheduled in the coming days and weeks. Send tips about location and schedule changes to [email protected].
