Mardi Gras is back, baby!!!

 

The Krewe of Hercules, featuring the 2022 theme “Hercules’ Wild Wild West,” will kick off carnival season this Friday night, February 18, at 6 p.m. in Houma. As the first Mardi Gras parade to roll in Houma since 2020, the 780-member krewe, showcasing 32 floats, will be one to remember.


 

The Krewe welcomes Louisiana Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser, as their Grand Marshal. Nungesser will ride on the “Louisiana Feed Your Soul” float from this year’s Rose Parade. Veterans will ride the float in the parade, as well as receive a special tribute in downtown Houma.

 

Nungesser will stop at a few local spots on Friday to celebrate Carnival’s return. He will attend a TARC parade on Friday morning, which is a private event, followed by a stop at Southdown Elementary in Houma, where he will be joined by Terrebonne Parish President Gordy Dove and Superintendent Philip Martin to be presented with the key to the city.
