Gemini's theme this year is Dreamcatcher, and Krewe members told us this means that all the floats will represent something you probably wanted to be as a child, such as a superhero, policeman, or astronaut.
Over in Shreveport the Krewe of Highland held their grand ball in a unique venue, the Red River District. The open-air event had multiple bars, a live band, street performers and DJ Hotboy Yoshi was on hand to keep the party going.
NBC 6 and FOX 33 were sponsors of the event and Jacque and Dan Jovic were on hand to emcee the event.
