Krewe du Vieux den on fire Tuesday.
Krewe du Vieux is the best Mardi Gras parade of the season, and the only parade that rolls on Lower Decatur Street. They may have suffered a setback for this upcoming season due to a two alarm fire at their den in the bywater. Information is scant at the moment, but we hope losses were minimal and they can return in their full glory come Carnival season.
Molly's at the Market's Halloween Parade
It’s that time of year again..
The festivities for this year start at 10am, with the actual parade leaving Molly’s at 5:30pm. The “standard fare” of entertainment will accompany the parade, consisting of (but not limited to) a firetruck, bands, jugglers, stiltwalkers, monkeys (I wish), etc. This is the Traditional Jim Monaghan Parade.
Check it out at Molly’s site.
25th annual Irish Parade on Lower Decatur
The Times-Piccayune published this to say about the St. Patrick’s Day parade.
St. Patrick’s Day parades begin rolling Friday when Monaghan’s 25th annual Irish Parade paints the French Quarter green at 5:30 p.m., beginning and ending at Molly’s at the Market, 1107 Decatur Street. Beads and Irish-themed trinkets will be tossed to the crowds by riders in horse-driven carriages, led by the Storyville Stompers marching band and the Kazoozie Floozies.
Be sure to wear green and come get your Blarney on!
