Plan now to ride with us in 2024!

Level up your Mardi Gras experience.

We've all been a face in the crowd, arms outstretched and yelling for beads. It's terrific fun. Being a float rider tossing beads? Even better! It's easier than you think to check this one off your bucket list. What are you waiting for?

Due to overwhelming demand, the 2023 Krewe of Pontchartrain Parade is FULL ... but sign up on our Join page, and you'll be the first to know when we're accepting new members for 2024!

Simply Like Nothing Else

There's a reason it's called "The Greatest Free Show on Earth." In one of the most vibrant and unique cities in the world, New Orleans' Carnival season is a magical time of joy and celebration for young and old alike.

What they're saying...

BANNERS

Riding with the krewe is a great experience. We have a ball, a luncheon, a second line parade down Bourbon, a balcony party, the parade and an after party. Riding on a float is a fun experience. We throw a lot of different items including cups, beads, plush, dog leashes, trays, rubber ducks and fedora hats. You will make a lot of friends and have a fun Mardi Gras.

For us Mardi Gras doesn't start until Pontchartrain says so!! It gets things rolling and is one of the best parades you will attend.  If you want to ride  and attend a ball you can do it!  The people are fun, friendly and know how to have a good time. If you haven't caught this parade you are missing out ... and if you want to ride in it you can join, as membership is open!  Go pass a good time!!
