Our Parade

Since 2023 the Krewe of Antheia has rolled in Slidell, Louisiana.

This Year’s Parade

Get ready to celebrate Mardi Gras in true Antheia style! The Krewe of Antheia Parade is set to roll through the streets of Slidell on February 1, 2026 at 1 pm with a spectacular showcase of creativity, community, and pure fun.

This year’s theme, “All Things Entertainment,” brings beloved stories and cinematic classics to life. Parade-goers can look forward to beautifully designed floats inspired by favorites such as Monsters Inc., Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Lost City of Atlantis, Winnie the Pooh, Willy Wonka, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and more.

The excitement doesn’t stop there! The parade will feature dynamic dance groups, talented marching bands, and a lively lineup of jeeps, all adding to the rhythm and energy of the day.

And of course, no Antheia parade would be complete without our signature throws—keep an eye out for our one-of-a-kind headbands and fascinators, along with plenty of other festive treasures.

So gather your friends and family, find your favorite spot along the route, and join us for a fun-filled, family-friendly day celebrating the spirit of Mardi Gras, Antheia-style!
