Argus Parade

Argus parades on Mardi Gras Day in Metairie. In New Orleans there is no advertising on floats. In Metairie there is and it is blatant.

Monday afternoon people put down there tarps to claim spots along the parade route.

You'll notice folks come with ladders and coolers for all day parade viewing. It is early afternoon when the parades arrive in this neighborhood.

This year's Argus parade honored Elvis Presley. The float riders all dressed like "The King."
