Krewe of Centaur Mardi Gras Parade Rolls Saturday

It's Mardi Gras in Kiss Country and this Saturday, February 2,  make plans for the Krewe of Centaur Parade.

The route for this year’s parade is exactly OPPOSITE from last year and is illustrated in the map above.  The parade will begin in downtown Shreveport on Clyde Fant Parkway at Lake Street.  It will head south to Shreveport-Barksdale Highway and will continue westward to East Kings Highway where it will turn South and continue to Preston.  The parade will end just before Preston where the “Parade End” sign is located.  Floats MUST stop throwing at this point.

The parade will begin at 4:30pm Rain or Shine

STREET CLOSURES !! : Review the parade route the day before or morning of the parade to determine what is the best spot for you. But, be aware, that the City closes the streets at or around 3:00pm.  Experienced parade goers mark their spot by tailgating early the morning of parade day.
