For those looking to infuse a bit of family fun into their Lundi Gras festivities, the Krewe du Kenner Wagon Float Parade is an event you won't want to miss. It's all happening in Kenner's Rivertown, where families can join the fray, decorating their own wagon floats and arming themselves with throws to participate in what's shaping up to be a vibrant community gathering on the eve of Mardi Gras.

According to the City of Kenner, participants of the parade are invited to get creative with their wagon floats, and there's an anticipation in the air of seeing homemade designs rolling down the streets alongside the venerable Zulu and Argus krewes, known for their spectacle and celebration, bringing a sense of camaraderie and lighthearted competition to see who can concoct the most imaginative and colorful displays.

This parade offers a unique twist to the traditional pageantry of Mardi Gras, giving a spotlight to the do-it-yourself spirit that is as much a part of the celebration's fabric as the beads and doubloons that fly through the air. The Krewe du Kenner Wagon Float Parade is an open invitation to create, participate, and celebrate Lundi Gras in a way that is uniquely yours and uniquely Kenner. The parade is calling all hands on deck—or rather, on wagons—for a family-friendly affair that wraps up the carnival season with smiles, surprises, and the sort of shared happiness.
