Parade Route:
The krewe will continue to parade on Lakeshore Drive for 2010! This greatly alleviated the congestion of the route, and the lengthy wait in line! In addition, we plan to continue barricading most of the route this year to make it even better! The parade rolls on the street from Jackson Avenue (by the harbor) westward... The parade will go off of the street near Girod, and continue on the bike path until it finishes at the Reviewing Stand at the Gazebo (Lafitte St/Lakeshore)

Parade Directions:
Best access for registration and parade line-up:
Take Jackson Avenue South off of Hwy 190 (Florida Street). If you're coming from the east (Slidell), you'll take a left onto Jackson. If you're coming from the west, you'll take a right onto Jackson (4 streets after the traffic light at Girod Street). Go down Jackson Avenue almost one mile south toward the lake and park near harbor area where registration occurs.

Best access for parade viewing:
Take Girod Street South off of Hwy 190 (Florida Street). Go almost one mile South to lake. You will have to turn to the right because the road will be closed for the parade. Parking is available on all side streets in Old Mandeville. Best viewing is three blocks to the left (east) or for two blocks to the right(west) on Lakeshore Drive.
