How do I form a Krewe? If you can organize a kids’ birthday party, you can form a Krewe. Just gather your friends and family, pick out some costumes or a theme. There is no limit on the number of people who can be in a Krewe. We only ask that you keep it family-friendly and people-powered. This is a walking or rolling (bikes, skateboards, scooters) parade… so no cars!
How much does it cost? We request a $50 donation… it’s for the kids, you know! Please contact us if this donation is cost prohibitive. We want to include as many community groups as possible!
How long is the parade route? It’s 1 mile long. The parade begins at FAVE on 5th Ave. and ends at The Imperial.
Where can I park? We’re in Decatur so we ask that you walk or ride, but if you have to drive, there is off street parking along the route. Uber or Lyft are also great options.
Can I have music? Sure!!! Form a band. Pull a boom box in a wagon. Music makes ANY parade better so definitely bring the tunes.
What about throws? Please!! Feel free to toss candy, beads, swag, party cups, moon pies, and more. Here are some more ideas.
What happens after the parade? We have a festival at The Imperial! There’ll be cajun food, beer, and hot dogs. The 2024 event will feature several live bands, so come prepared to party!
