Opelousas Mardi Gras Parade

The Opelousas Mardi Gras Parade marches through downtown Opelousas, Louisiana starting near Le Vieux Village Heritage Park. The parade continues down East Landry Street past well-known restaurants like Mama’s Fried Chicken. The Mardi Gras celebration continues past the oaks of the Courtyard Square until it turns right on Liberty and returns on Bellevue.

In conjunction with the parade, the Mystic Krewe of Fur Babies, which hosts a parade for dogs, will take place just prior to the parade event. Following the parade, Keith Frank & the Zoileau Zydeco Band will be performing at Zyde Gras on the Square.
