Most people have a favorite parade they love to see each year during Carnival, but for those who have ridden before, what's your favorite parade to ride in and why? In New Orleans or elsewhere in Louisiana.

Long route, throw non stop. Can see people because it's during the day.

This was my first year riding in Endymion, and the 25% of the route I was able to ride was by far more fun than any other Mardi Gras experience I have ever had

Not Mardi Gras. When the Saints came back from Miami after winning the Super Bowl I rode in their parade from near Bainbridge.
I jumped into the parade in my brand new truck. I was trying to get out of the airport.
The people were thronged along Veterans. They thought I was connected to the team!
I signed three footballs,eight shirts,and four or five newspapers. Bigfishchoupique #1
Those people probaly still wonder who signed their stuff.

I was in college at the time. I think it might have been 1986. It was my dad, a couple of uncles and their friends on the float. It was float 8. One guy got too loaded at the luncheon and I was a last minute addition. Was a fricking blast. No pics dude, I'm sure they could be found with a search.

Like riding into the Colosseum, or as close as you can get. Convention Center wasn't the same this year, but at least we made it in.
