Parade: The Krewe of Excalibur is a Jefferson Parish Parade that rides along the traditional Veterans Memorial Blvd. Route in Metairie, LA (about 10 minutes from New Orleans). It’s a safe, family atmosphere that millions of people have enjoyed over the years. This is our 10th Anniversary, and over the years we have catered to this atmosphere by making our parade a fun time with bands or dance groups between every float, by throwing items specially designed for children like youth t-shirts, stuffed castles and hand decorated shields, and by having family related socials throughout the year. We are also the first parade of the season, so it’s very well attended by the public. This year the parade will be on Friday February 10, 2012.
If you are a band or dance team and wish to participate in our parade please email David Long at davidlong@eatel.net for more information.
After Parade Party: Immediately following the parade. Come unwind after your ride with fellow members. Open bar and food along with music until 1:30 a.m. Tickets are $45 each. Location Sheraton Metairie (near the Galleria)
Throws: Throws are available for purchase through the Krewe. All proceeds remain with the Krewe and help defer expenses of the parade.
