Area Entertainment for the Family
When you have a break during the tournament -- Come join us for some Louisiana Style Holiday Celebration by attending some of the festive Mardi Gras Parades. Enjoy jumping up to catch beads, doubloons, cups, stuffed animals, etc! Prepare yourself to join the crowd yelling at the float riders "Throw me something, Mister." Bring a large sturdy bag to hold all the treasure you'll be catching- if you try to put all of your beads around your neck, you'll have a hard time standing up straight! Here is the schedule of Parades in Lake Charles.
