Get ready for a festive and fun-filled day in Shreveport as the Krewe of Highland parade gears up to take place on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at 2 p.m.. This year, the parade is rolling in style and with a special twist that promises to make it one of the most memorable celebrations yet!
This year’s parade holds a special significance as it marks the 30th anniversary of the Krewe of Highland. Parties, celebrations, and a nod to environmental awareness all come together as the theme of “green” is set to shine through. The krewe is dedicated to promoting eco-friendly festivities while celebrating the beloved Mardi Gras season in a way that’s fun for everyone and friendly to our planet.
The royal court for this year’s festivities is nothing short of regal! With Captain Josh Jennings, Queen Emily Hamann, King D.J. Gardner, and Co-Captain Brie Silva leading the parade, spectators can expect a whimsical and grand affair bursting with creativity and cultural flair.
Excitement is in the air as Caddo Commissioner John-Paul Young, a proud Shreveport native and Highland resident, steps into the spotlight as this year’s grand marshal. He is particularly excited to represent the community and bring awareness to fire prevention policies with his float theme inspired by “Burning Man.”
The festivities kick off at Gilbert Drive and Gregg Avenue, winding through the charming Highland neighborhood and making its way back to the starting point. If you’re planning to watch the parade, make sure to arrive early! Streets along the parade route will start closing down at 12 p.m., with Gilbert Drive closing even earlier at 7 a.m.. This ensures that everyone can set up their spots and soak in the jubilant atmosphere.
One of the parade’s highlights is undoubtedly the floats! Expect to see an array of large, colorful floats along with some imaginative homemade creations that are sure to make you smile. Plus, there will be a parade of marching bands and vibrant dance groups that bring rhythm and energy to the streets.
As for the famous throws, the Krewe of Highland has its unique twist on things! Let’s talk about the iconic *hot dog* – a must-catch for parades here, a tradition stemming from the Krewe of Barbecue. But that’s not all! Parade-goers could also snag quirky surprises like SPAM sandwiches, Ziploc bags filled with spaghetti and meatballs, Moon Pies, candies, and even cuddly stuffed animals.
It’s not just about the fun and excitement; the Krewe of Highland parade plays a significant role in generating enthusiasm within the local economy. The Caddo Parish Commission estimates a direct economic impact of over $9 million from Mardi Gras parades in Shreveport, factoring in the total indirect impact which exceeds $16 million. It’s a fantastic boost for local businesses and a wonderful way to engage the community.
If you can’t make it to the parade in person, don’t fret! There will be live coverage starting at 2 p.m. so you can catch all the action virtually. Make sure to check out the mobile app featuring a Parade Tracker, allowing attendees to monitor the parade’s location throughout the route in real time!
Lastly, don’t forget to share your parade experiences! Whether it’s dazzling floats or your favorite throws, you can submit your photos by emailing or posting with the hashtag #KTBSMardiGras on social media.
With so much fun lined up, it’s sure to be a fantastic day filled with excitement for all. Mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, and get ready to enjoy the delightful Krewe of Highland parade!
