Mid City Gras parade set to roll on March 9
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — This year's Mid City Gras parade is set for Sunday, March 9, after bad weather forced organizers to cancel its original date.
The parade will start at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 9. A release from organizers said the Mid City Gras board worked with krewes, bands and other participants to find the best new date.
'We're so grateful for everyone's flexibility. It's how we could ensure that everyone would still be able to enjoy this parade–even if it had to be after Mardi Gras,' Mid City Gras Board Member and Parade Coordinator Nathan Ryan said. 'We love having a parade that can be enjoyed by everyone in our diverse, creative community. We all came together and decided that, if the weather would not let us do Mardi Gras, we were going to have Marchi Gras.'
The parade route goes down North Boulevard, starting at 19th Street, and ends at S. Foster Drive in front of Baton Rouge Community College.
