The Sunset Mardi Gras Association is hosting the Sunset Kidz Wagon Parade on February 16th. This family-friendly Mardi Gras event is not your typical parade. No animals or motorized vehicles are allowed. Only wagons, bicycles, and wheelchairs for those in need, ALL decorated for Mardi Gras or this year’s theme “Over the Rainbow”.

Wagons will line up at 11am, but the parade starts at noon. Beginning at the Sunset Community Center on 108 Leo Richard Lane, the parade turns right on Napoleon Avenue, then turns left on Landry, another left on Commercial Street, then left on Castille, then proceeding right on Napoleon Avenue. From there we will turn left on Budd St, left on Boudreaux ending at the Sunset Community Center.

This is a free event that typically takes place the third Sunday before Mardi Gras.
