For all members of marching bands/krewes and parents/chaperones, thank you so so much for everything you do to make Mardi Gras as fun as it can be! All the efforts, practicing, dressing up and walking no matter what the weather is, you're so appreciated! You definitely make my parade-goers spirit so much more uplifted, and nothing get me more excited than the sounds of marching bands and just a glimpse of walking krewes before the float rolls around!

I wish I could name all the krewe, but some of my favorite krewe are Dolly Parton (I adoreeeee you!), Rolling Elvies, 610 Stompers, Muff-a-lotta, Disco ball (omg, I still have the disco vinyl you gave me last year! always a joy whenever I'm feeling blue!), Roux, Amelia Earhart, and soooo many more!

Dear members of walking krewes/marching bands, you are the true spirit of Mardi Gras, and it wouldn't be a complete Mardi Gras without you! Please stay healthy, stay cozy and I will try my best to cheer for all of you out there when I see you.

Much love and adoration, from a local parade goer <3
