DON'T MISS THE MARDI GRAS PARADE TONIGHT 6:30 p.m.!
Tonight at 6:30 p.m., The Krewe du Vieux Mardi Gras Parade will fill the French Quarter streets. Your fellow NECMA Conferees will be viewing the parade from in front of the Hotel Monteleone, 214 Rue Royale (btw Iberville St & Bienville Ave).
The Krewe du Vieux is a non-profit organization dedicated to the historical and traditional concept of a Mardi Gras parade as a venue for individual creative expression and satirical comment. It is unique among all Mardi Gras parades in the city because it alone carries on the old traditions of Carnival celebrations, using decorated, hand or mule-drawn floats with satirical themes, accompanied by costumed revelers dancing in the streets to the sounds of jazzy street musicians. “We believe in exposing the world to the true nature of Mardi Gras - and in exposing ourselves to the world."
