The parade will culminate with the annual Chewbacchanal at the krewe’s Saint Claude Avenue headquarters.
This year, the Morning 40 Federation, Captain Midnight Band, Pink Slip, Adia, Dan Bain, and Tristan Dufrene will all perform.
The parade is set to oll at 7 p.m. on an all new streamlined route through the Marigny and Bywater neighborhoods.
