Mardi Gras Parade Is a St. Louis Tradition
ST. LOUIS (SLFP.com), February 7, 2010 - It's no secret, the River City Casino Grand Parade, on Saturday, February 13, beginning at 11:00 a.m., is one of the most popular parades in the Midwest. As far as parades go, it also draws the greatest attendance, with thousands of noisy revelers stretching along the parade route, screaming for Krewes to throw beads.

The parade theme for this year's celebration is "Famous Couples". From the staging area at Cerre Street, over 130 colorfully decorated floats on flatbeds, marching units, and over 3,500 marching Krewes will head south to 7th Street and continue past Soulard Market to Sidney Street, just north of Anheuser Busch Brewery.

After the parade the crowd will make its way into the over 70 square block area that is the Soulard neighborhood to enjoy the various beverages, culinary delights, live music, and other unique events of the day.

Soulard residents love a party, however, just as Soulard plays a gracious host to the region's best party, the neighborhood also expects its guests to mind their Mardi Gras Manners.

Mardi Gras organizers have put out the notices: bottles, cans, backpacks, and coolers are NOT allowed at Soulard Mardi Gras and will be confiscated at all checkpoints; don't drink if you are under 21 as there is a zero tolerance policy; please note the "No PP" signs posted in the neighborhood as a summons will be issued for violating this ordinance resulting in a court appearance and a maximum penalty of $500 and/or 90 days in jail; and, there are substantial penalties for trespassing on private property and for vandalism. (You've been warned.)

Parking is restricted on Grand Parade Day. This year the "Red Zone" area of Soulard, from Carroll to Shenandoah and 7th to Gravois is closed to vehicular traffic on Grand Parade Day. Officials are encouraging participants to park downtown or use MetroLink and take the MetroBus shuttle from the Scottrade Center station.

All Mardi Gras events happen regardless of rain, shine or blizzard, so bring your entire family and all your friends for a guaranteed good time.
Laissez le Bon Temp Rouler! (Let the Good Times Roll).
