The Krewe of Highland Parade is a unique Mardi Gras parade set in Shreveport's historic Highland neighborhood. It features unique floats - many of which are quirky and homemade - and unusual throws like hot dogs from the Krewe of Bar-B-Q and yummy moon pies, as well as countless beads, stuffed animals and more. The Krewe of Highland Parade is an afternoon parade held each year on the Sunday following the huge Krewe of Gemini Parade. If you'd like to plan a visit to Shreveport-Bossier during Mardi Gras season, call (888) 45-VISIT to request a Visitor's Guide or visit www.shreveport-bossier.org.

This video is the first in a series of videos about Mardi Gras in Shreveport-Bossier. Our goal is to provide the public with a series of vignettes that allow Shreveport-Bossier residents to express, in their own words, what makes Mardi Gras in our community so special.

A special word of thanks goes out to the Shreveport Second Line, who kindly provided music for this video.
