President of the Mystic Krewe of Femme Fatale Kimberly Early agrees, saying changes to the schedule excites them even more. 'It kind of caught us by surprise, but we are excited about the change. We've always had an idea of riding at night, and this gives us that opportunity to delay, but the femmes are always ready to roll,' said Early. For both crews, this will be a new experience being able to showcase their amazing krewes at night. As they say, they have a lot in store for paradegoers.

Some of the things that we've put on the floats are lighting, and it will be a lot more dramatic. People should be really excited to come out and see what we have,' said O'Shaughnessy. The dynamic ladies in the Krewe of Femme Fatale plan to look fabulous coming down the street in candy apple red and white. Early says they have new throws for everyone.

So we want to promote literacy in our young adults. We have lighted beads that we always have and now will definitely come in handy on Tuesday night,' said dead, one injured after shooting at New Mexico Air Force base Pennsylvania hospital shooting: Family of patients share experiences, concerns USPS honors beloved actress Betty White with commemorative stamp Southeastern women's basketball tops East Texas A&M, clinches Southland Conference title NOLA Krewes optimistic about parade reschedules due to severe weather Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
