Feed Me Something, Mister!A Smorgasboard of Mardi Gras Parade Route Eats In the Carnival edition of Big Easy Bites, Jennifer Abbott explores eating options for hungry parade goers. Parades APlenty: 6 Krewes, 1 Will Ferrell Roll on Bacchus Sunday The parade route will be packed with marches today, as yesterday's rains sent krewes jostling for position to ensure all the hard work and money that went into their floats would still see the light of St. Charles. Despite a bigger build-up, this day remains Bacchus Sunday.

The Gris Gris Strut Dance Troupe is offering a new twist to the classic routine for the Carnival Parade Season. The co-ed, 11 person dance troupe will be strutting to the rhythm of their marching band, which features 30 professional musicians. But they'll also have a few guests along for the ride to make sure that the tradition carries on past the current generation. Mayor Mitch, Serpas Spell Out Mardi Gras Don'ts CBD - As New Orleans gets ready to open the Mardi Gras Mainline down St. Charles Ave. on Friday, Mayor Mitch gathered city officials and the press today to remind everyone that there will be police officers everywhere during Mardi Gras, that it is possible to be rude to others on the parade route and that the City of New Orleans now employs elbow grease.
