The Lafourche Parish Public Library is set to host its annual parades for children, their families and friends, and spectators wanting to take part in this year’s Mardi Gras celebrations.
Each year, the library hosts parades to offer families an opportunity to celebrate Mardi Gras in a safe and child-friendly environment. This year, three library krewes are set to roll.
At each parade, children are welcome to dress in costume and can either walk or ride in strollers and wagons (decorations are encouraged, but are not necessary). For children’s safety, no motorized vehicles are allowed.
Children should bring their own Mardi Gras throws.
Spectators are encouraged to attend.
Mark your calendars for these library Mardi Gras parades.
