Mande Kings Day Parade
Mandeville Trailhead 675 Lafitte Street, Mandeville, Louisiana 70448
For the sixth year, Northshore's first all-women marching organization, the Mande Milkshakers, gather for the annual Kings Day Parade and Festival on the Lakefront—traditionally held on the Saturday closest to Kings Day, or Epiphany—heralding the start of Carnival. Catch the procession heading west from the harbor along the lakefront to Girod, before turning north and proceeding to the Trailhead. The parade and afterparty alike are open to everyone: join in on foot, on bike, via golf cart, or in your vehicle. Carnival attire encouraged. The afterparty will feature performances by local musicians, the Mande Milkshakers, and plenty of food and refreshments. Free. Details at mandemilkshakers.com.
