Krewe of Excalibur

This was the first parade that we attended this Mardi Gras season. With a 2 year old, I actually prefer to go to the Jefferson Parish parades. Less crowds, which is nice so that she can actually see what is going on, and can catch some fun throws.
The floats aren’t quite as extravagant as the mega krewes that roll Uptown, but that’s a fair trade-​off for it not being as crowded. There are still some great marching bands, floats, and it’s always entertaining.
This year, it was absurdly cold (yes, even a Canadian found it cold), so we didn’t stick around for the whole parade. However, what we saw was pretty good. I would recommend this as a good family-​friendly parade.
