Floats in the Oaks – Drive-thru Carnival attraction in City Park

January 29, 2021 by Baton Rouge Family Fun

With no Mardi Gras parades, Louisiana has had to get creative in an effort to not give up our most celebrated Louisiana holiday. This year, the floats are parked. First, House Floats and now we have ‘Floats in the Oaks’, a once in a lifetime opportunity for visitors to view iconic floats from various Mardi Gras krewes all in one place and it will give our region the opportunity to experience a part of Mardi Gras during this historic year. Families can safely participate in a parade-type event, by viewing stationery floats from their cars. Participants are encouraged to wear Mardi Gras costumes and decorate their cars.

Floats in the Oaks

Krewes: Rex, Zulu, Bacchus, Hermes, Thoth, King Arthur, Argus, Alla, Morpheus, Iris, Pygmalion, Mid City, Tucks, Femme Fatale, Babylon, Proteus, Centurions, Druids, Carrollton. Kern Studios, Rizzuto and Company, Ducote Designs, and PFJ Floats will assist with the transportation of parade units. More ‘Floats in the Oaks’ krewe are being added daily!
