Major Changes Have Been Proposed for Shreveport Mardi Gras Parades
SHREVEPORT, LA - Major changes have apparently been proposed for the Mardi Gras parades in Shreveport. Mayor Tom Arceneaux, Chief Administrative Officer Tom Dark, SPAR Director Shelly Ragle and others met with parade officials to discuss new contracts.
Several changes have been suggested. None of these proposed changes have been adopted or approved by city leaders yet.
The Board of Directors of both the Krewe of Gemini and the Krewe of Centaur will be meeting this week to discuss these proposed changes. They will then get back with the city to try to iron out the contracts.
What Are the Proposed Changes?
1. Move the start time of the 2 big parades to 2:30pm
2. Change the location of the parade start from downtown Shreveport to Clyde Fant at Stoner.
3. Move the date of the Centaur Parade from February 3 to accommodate the African American Parade which is on the same date.
