With 19 traditional parades this weekend in metro New Orleans, we have more parades rolling from Friday to Sunday than are scheduled the three days of Mardi Gras weekend.⁠
⁠
Starting things off in Uptown New Orleans is the 17-float Krewe of Oshun parade, titled "Music," led by a new captain. Personalized collectibles tossed by the club’s 200 co-ed members include handmade fans.⁠
⁠
Following Oshun, it’s the 50th-anniversary parade of the Krewe of Cleopatra, which has grown to 2,200 members and features 22 floats, including 15 tandems. "Cleopatra’s Jeweled Jubilee" is this year’s theme.⁠
⁠
This female club moved from the west bank in 2013. Unique floats are the “Royal Barge” and a new three-unit signature float that honors the late founder, Dolores “Tuttie” Kepner. Try to snag a personalized hand-decorated beverage glass, Cleopatra’s signature throw.⁠
⁠
Ending Friday’s triple-header uptown is the 91-year-old Krewe of Alla led by a new captain.⁠
⁠
The hand-decorated genie lamp is the most collectible throw handed out by the 500 male and female riders. The theme of the 18-float parade is "Festing Around the World."⁠
