Krewe of Orion Mardi Gras Parade

The Krewe of Orion’s 26th annual Mardi Gras parade in downtown Baton Rouge will take place on Saturday, February 06, 2026, at 6:30 PM.

Parade goers will be treated to a line of exciting, colorfully-lighted, and tractor-pulled floats. On the floats, masked and costumed riders will throw plenty of themed parade medallions, Krewe of Orion signature footballs, lighted throws, and beads. Marching bands, dance groups, and marching units (all of 20 members or more) will be among the great sights and sounds at this wonderful family-oriented parade.
