About this event
The Mardi Gras Children's Day Parade is the family piece of Southwest Louisiana Mardi Gras in Lake Charles. Children's Day packs in crafts, photo booths, and meet-and-greets with pageant royalty, then leads into the children's parade. Floats come with non-graphic music, street barricades, and police escorts, and the day is set aside for young revelers. King cake and gumbo still mark the wider season, but this parade is the one built for kids.
Our take: Get there for the crafts and royalty meet-and-greets, then stay for the children's parade that closes out the day.
Good to know
Children's parade at 3:30 p.m.
