Parade Changes This Carnival Season

Parade Changes This Carnival Season

Some parades will need to change their routes this Carnival Season. Back in August, the Krewe of Endymion announced it will change its traditional route because of massive Mercedes-Benz Superdome renovations. Instead of ending at the Superdome, the parade will head to the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center and the ball will be held there. Another change is still pending. The parade usually rolls down Canal Street. Due to the Hard Rock Hotel construction collapse in October  that part of Canal Street has been blocked off. Officials have not confirmed yet where Endymion will make the turn to the Convention Center. The collapse will also impact Zulu’s route. The Krewe usually takes the traditional Uptown route following St. Charles Avenue down to Canal Street. It usually then follows Canal until Basin street where it turns right.

Also new this year, the Krewe of Isis is returning to Kenner. The Krewe will be rolling through Kenner for the first time since 1992. The Magical Krewe of Mad Hatters will make its inaugural run through Metairie on Februay 15th. Mandeville’s Original Krewe of Orpheus won’t roll this year. Krewe officials said  they plan to roll again during Mardi Gras 2021.
