Mardi Gras on Main
February 22, 2025
Parade
Help us commence the celebrations with a grand introduction to Mardi Gras with the biggest Second Line La Porte has ever seen.
What is a Second Line?
The Second Line has deep roots in history as New Orleans’ famous jazz funerals. It was a celebration of life! Today the tradition continues… and the Second Line umbrella is a symbol of celebration and a welcome invitation for everyone to join in the rolling excitement. The umbrellas of today are extra and reflect personal attitude and creativity.
Any entry from Umbrellas, Pets, Golf Carts, Jeeps, to Traditional Floats are welcome. There are trophies up for grabs!!
Who can participate in the March to Mardi Gras Parade? We welcome friends, organizations, businesses, individuals, and everyone else to join in the fun!
