Oshun and Krewe Of Cleopatra

Start off Mardi Gras with the first parades to march down St. Charles Avenue. Oshun, named for the African goddess of Love, proudly displays their peacock mascot.

For all of the Mardi Gras parades, you'll have a commanding comfortable view from our grandstand seating on St. Charles Avenue. Equipped with restroom and within easy access to downtown parking and to a large selection of food and beverages, the Royal Grandstand is available for all Orleans parades, from February 21, 2025 thru Mardi Gras Day.

Krewe of Cleopatra: 40 years ago two sisters saw in their dreams a vision of Mardi Gras, with the beauty and
grace that could only be captured in an all women's carnival organization. The ageless splendor of Egypt's mighty ruler...Cleopatra!
