Bacchus. Add Thoth in the morning. Elite Sunday.

Endymion - Best floats and best party with the Extravaganza in the Dome.

Thoth - Best parade route in all of Mardi Gras with the Uptown neighborhood route.

Bacchus - Best combination of parade route and floats with the traditional Uptown route down St. Charles Avenue.

Thoth Sunday is the best day by far. Just wish there wasn't such a long wait between Thoth and Bacchus.

Endymion is overrated. Give me Iris and Tucks in Uptown instead.

We haven't been to Endymion in years and have gone out to Iris and Tucks, instead, but I still like to see the Endymion floats and all on the TV broadcast.

The crowds at Iris/Tucks have exploded in recent years and are probably as bad as Endymion crowds.

I prefer Endymion more simply because I know a bunch of riders.

It’s funny how many elitist Uptowners refuse to go watch Endymion in Mid-City or Downtown because it’s the “new money” Krewe.

I have been in Endymion since I was 18, I'm 43 now, I used to give a frick about all that, but now who cares? Both are fun, I ride in Endymion Saturday, pick my kids up from my in-laws Sunday am, and then catch the Sunday parades in the stands by city hall, tough to beat. Have fun, be safe!

If I have someone with a good spot, Endymion by a mile. Their lights and throws are insane.

I’ve gotten to where I almost only want to go out for Thoth Sunday because the parking off of Magazine and crowds down that way are so chill

Lithium and I ride Endymion on the same float. I'm not that much of a fan of Bacchus and much prefer Muses and Krewe d'Etat.

I had a hotel balcony room for Bacchus on Julia St. last year and it seemed like it lasted forever.

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


Agree. Those frickers invented the Krewe of Chad. The parade that rolls uptown is superior.

I'm on the Uptown route, so I prefer Bacchus. Oddly, even Mid City rides on the Uptown route now, but not Endymion. I think it has to do with the trees on St. Charles.

What bands are playing at Bacchus this year?


The main band will be ZZ Top. They usually have a Vegas Band to warm up and a DJ to play after the main band.

new money,


Like Bacchus is old money....

I know many riders in Bacchus, they're definitely not old money...

Fun crazy fact... many guys ride in both, which is crazy to me.
