The parade route is the same as last year. We will proceed along Clyde Fant, Shreveport-Barksdale Hwy., East Kings Hwy and end at the “Parade End” sign just north of Preston. SPAR has sold spots in the “No Throw Zone” between the sign and Preston.
Also, we want to remind the public our route has not changed from last year. The parade will begin at 4:30 pm beginning on Clyde Fant Parkway at Sci-port.
As a cautious note, please remind the public to stay back from the floats for safety. When the floats stop no beads or other throws can be thrown or handed to parade goers. Safety is encouraged to keep float riders and parade goers from being injured.
Media is invited to attend, please contact Michelle Baker at 318-458-5555 or email at krewe89@aol.com for media procedures.
