Both are great I give slight edge to Bacchus original Superkrewe throws are better and bands are usually the best of Mardi Gras. Endymions floats are bigger but Bacchus signature floats are hard to top I do think Saturday night is a better night to ride and going into Dome is cool but I prefer Uptown route over Mod City Canal

Inb4 blood feud between posters who already have ladders on the neutral ground and those who claim to never come within 70 miles of New Orleans ever again

The more important question:
Neutral ground side or sidewalk side?

I haven’t been to Endymion in years because I’m usually resting up and preparing food and drinks to bring out on Super Sunday.

When has Bacchus ever had a better/bigger name band than Endymion?
Posted on 2/11/25 at 10:47 pm to Optimism
Bacchus invented the super krewe, but Endymion has surpassed them as a super krewe.
By better bands, do you mean marching bands in the parade, or bands at the balls and functions? Endymion wins the latter by a wide, wide margin.
I won't argue about the uptown versus Mid City route, but Endymion is too big for uptown.
Some of those Bacchus signature floats look tired and outdated.
Kudos to Bacchus for getting Shaq as the King.
Endymion needs to get Kellen Moore.
My vote - Endymion

Bacchus solely because I lived Uptown and wasn’t going to Mid City for Endymion. Nothing like a nice nap after Tucks and rolling in to Fat Harry’s for some wings, cheese fries, and a pitcher of beer on Saturday night as a little break before the all day shenanigans on Sunday.

When I was a kid I always liked the Bacchus doubloons better. Bacchus also had the celebrity kings going back to the late 1970s.

Gotta see Shaq this year as Bacchus.

Marching bands better for Bacchus. Endymion obviously better bands for the ball

When I went, I always preferred Endymion because it was on a Saturday and never took off work on Monday so I preferred an Endymion Saturday carrying over through Tucks on Sunday and I was back home starting my recovery Sunday by sunset.

Momus FTW, but D'etat will do instead.

Bacchus. Endymion is a trash parade with a trash route and trash people

On a wonderful weather day, bacchus Sunday wins. Go to Toth in the morning, have lunch uptown, then head out for Bacchus.
If I’m only doing one day of Mardi Gras that’s how I’m doing it.
