Pub Crawl and Walking Parade

Always a fun party we encourage everyone to put a Krewe together and dress up. If you read the history of some of the Mardi Gras traditions you can get a better understanding of what a Krewe is. Even if you don't have a Krewe we encourage you to dress up and join the fun! We will meet at 7pm with your Krewe at Bobby’s Monkey Bar (corner of Simonton St. and Olivia St.) with the pub crawl ending at Bourbon St. Pub.
