Creator's Key Takeaways

Zulu and Endymion are at the top of our lists and should be on yours, too.

I would say the two weeks leading up to Marty gr day are pretty much non-stop parties um parades festivals all of that.

I always wear a fanny pack men or women whatever wear something close to your body there's a ton of people you're all going to be touching each other so if you don't want it stolen wear it close to you.

I also think it's important to note that the parades don't just throw beads so it don't go out there just expecting to get a bunch of beads.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Download the WDSU parade tracker app to plan your trip.
Watch parades Uptown for a more family-oriented, less crowded experience.
Bring a fanny pack, hand sanitizer, tissues, and a poncho.
Find a place with bathrooms or buy a pass for bathroom access.
Bring your own drinks and snacks to save money and stay hydrated.
