Dog parades have become a new Mardi Gras tradition in New Orleans.
Mardi Gras’ dog parade routes stretch from the historic French Quarter to the riverfront. Even if you don’t want to be in the parade, your dog is most welcome in the crowd for these parades, unlike most of the regular parades. In addition to beads, participants throw dog treats and toys. You’ll get a lot more throws if you and your dog are dress up for the occasion.
