The Experience
The second line is one of New Orleans’ purest expressions of joy. Led by brass and fueled by movement, it turns the street into a celebration of life itself. Together we wind through the Marigny, dancing, strolling, and dissolving into the shared rhythm of the city. A moment of connection, freedom, and collective heartbeat.

The Location
We begin at the lively corner of Franklin Avenue and Royal Street, a beloved gathering point for Mardi Gras magic and neighborhood revelry. Colorful houses and leafy streets frame the perfect route for a parade that feels both timeless and full of possibility.

Comfortable with a touch of elevated sleepwear, preparing you for the evening to come. Refer to the Krewe du You event for more details on this evening’s attire.

Food + Drink
Before we step off, you can grab food and drinks at Anna’s Bar, with an excellent cocktail menu and Tropicalia Kitchen serving Brazilian street food. We will also recommend a couple other nearby spots to fuel up before we depart.

Transportation
Walk, bike, or ride share as you prefer. Meet at 4:30pm if you’d like to sip or snack first. Otherwise, arrive by 5:30pm sharp or you may miss the group departure.
