Jefferson Parish has a history of successful Mardi Gras celebrations. Please follow these common sense rules and you too will help this year’s Mardi Gras be a very enjoyable and safe celebration And remember, always watch out for our children!

Please stand behind the barricades while the parade is passing, and keep in mind to not cross the roadway between members of any marching group It is also very dangerous to run between floats and vehicles while the parade is in progress.

Families who want to bring ladders for the kids may cer tainly do so; however, ladders cannot be placed in the street or in an intersection. All ladders must be placed behind the curb. The ladder must be one foot back behind the curb for every foot it is tall For example, a six-foot ladder must be six feet back behind the curb while a three foot ladder must be three feet back behind the curb. Also, ladders cannot be tied together.

No glass containers of any type are permitted within fifty (50) feet of any parade route As broken glass can pose a se riou s safe t y hazard, t his ordinance will be st rict ly enforced.

Please do not park in anyone’s driveway or park in a way that impedes the flow of traffic. Also, you must obey the no parking signs along the parade routes. Violators will be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense

Mardi Gras floats are great to watch, but they can be very dangerous if you get too close, especially when they are moving. To prevent injuries, we do not permit riders to toss throws upon entering the disbanding areas. For your own safety, please stay clear of all parade disbanding areas

Ambulances, first aid stations, and lost children stations are located along all parade routes for the betterment of all parade goers

Please remember to provide a nametag with name and contact information for small children in the event you and your child become separated along the parade route
