WWNO - New Orleans Public Radio | By Travis Lux

This adorable pup made an appearance at the Barkus parade in 2019.

The closer we get to Mardi Gras Day, the denser the parade schedule becomes. Lucky us!

This weekend features several parades in New Orleans and Metairie — from Oshun and Excalibur on Friday, to Freret and Centurions on Saturday. And don’t forget about Barkus on Sunday — everyone’s favorite doggo-themed parade is sure to feature an overwhelming number of very good boys and very good girls.
