The 2020 Mardi Gras season will bring a new parade and festival to north Baton Rouge. The Krewe of Oshun parade rolls at noon Saturday, Feb. 8, with the festival to follow.

The inaugural theme is "Wakanda Now: Celebration, Prosperity and Expansion."

The festival, with live music, carnival games, cooking and eating contests, community resources and vendors, will run from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The krewe's goals are to encourage people to visit north Baton Rouge and to establish a quality, new Mardi Gras parade for the city, says Byron Washington, chairman of NBRNow, the organization behind the new parade. NBRNow is an organization promoting grassroots development and advocacy of north Baton Rouge neighborhoods.

Then maybe they should make steps in the direction of not being a wasteland shithole anymore.

Imagine how shitty your culture has to be when the utopia you strive for is a comic book fantasy.

Why am I envisioning the Itchy And Scratchy parade that was routed through Bumtown on The Simpson’s?

The other option was Straight Outta Baton Rouge, but St George called dibs.

You know the government is going to subsidize this bullshite too. I'll bet my last dollar that all kinds of money from that NBR redevelopment fund is going to be spent on this.

Ummm, that's not how you get people who don't already go to NBR to come to NBR.
