About the application

ABOUT THE PARADE

The Virginia Highland Mardi Gras Parade will feature up to 20 floats and groups, from walkers and bikers to wagons and decorated vehicles. The route is approximately 0.5 miles along Virginia Avenue, starting at the intersection with Arcadia Street and ending at North Highland Avenue.

 

PARTICIPANTS

All krewes welcome! We’re looking for marching bands, schools, dance groups, sports teams, local businesses, friend goups, and anyone ready to get in the Mardi Gras spirit. Spots are limited, so get your application in early!

 

HELPFUL TIPS

Come dressed in your festive best! We encourage participants to bring their own throws, make a sign with your krewe name, and play music. The more spirit, the better!
