Jeanerette Louisiana’s Marvelous Mardi Gras Parade

This year the Grand Marais Mardi Gras Parade in Jeanerette is on Sunday March 19th. Here is our look at a visit a few years ago. 

Jeanerette's Krewe of Ezana Mardi Gras Parade

Some Mardi Gras parades are focused on floats and bead throws. Not in Jeanerette.

This little town of 6,000 throws a real show. Marching bands, twirlers and dancers of all ages fill out the spaces between the floats.

They don’t call Jeanerette “Sugar City” for nothing – this town doesn’t mess around with the treats they throw – candy, beads, stuffed animals, candy, trickets, oh, and candy. And gum. (click here to find out more on Mardi Gras outside of New Orleans)
