A Parade Without Barriers

FRIDAY, FEB 21, 2025
START TIME 7:00 PM

Krewe de Canailles is a parade for the people by the people!

Established in 2018, our mission is to promote inclusivity, sustainability and creativity to create a Lafayette Mardi Gras experience like no other. Our parade kicks off the Lafayette Mardi Gras season — rolling two Fridays before Fat Tuesday every year in Downtown Lafayette.

2024 Theme & Details

As the moon illuminates the streets of Downtown Lafayette, a sense of intrigue fills the air. Shadows beckon, inviting you to explore the hidden dimensions just beyond our grasp. This Groundhog’s Day, Krewe de Canailles summons you to step — INTO THE SHADOWVERSE!


You begin to transcend the boundary through space and time, you see a creature of parallel worlds, a character plucked from the pages of a forgotten history book, a cosmic entity from the far reaches of the universe. In this realm, creativity knows no bounds.


Membership is Now Closed
. We’ll see you Feb. 2nd! The mysteries of possibility await . . .
