The Sunset Mardi Gras Association is hosting the Sunset Kidz Wagon Parade on February 16th. This family-friendly Mardi Gras event is not your typical parade. No animals or motorized vehicles are allowed; only wagons, bicycles, and wheelchairs are for those in need. All are decorated for Mardi Gras or this year’s theme, “Over the Rainbow.”

Wagons will line up at 11 am, but the parade starts at noon. Beginning at the Sunset Community Center on 108 Leo Richard Lane, the parade turns right on Napoleon Avenue, then turns left on Landry, another left on Commercial Street, then left on Castille, then proceeding right on Napoleon Avenue. From there, we will turn left on Budd St, left on Boudreaux, ending at the Sunset Community Center.

This free event typically takes place the third Sunday before Mardi Gras.
