| Parade City: | New Orleans (Orleans Parish) Map It |
| Parade Date: | January 27, 2008 |
| Description: | 12:00 pm The Krewe of Carrollton was founded by a group of local businessmen in 1924, parading on Mardi Gras Day in the neighborhood of Carrollton. In 1933, when rain forced the cancellation of most of parades, including Rex, Carrollton presented the only daytime parade of the season. Following World War II, during which there was no Mardi Gras celebration, the men of Carrollton reorganized. Carrollton is now the fourth oldest parading krewe. One of the citys most popular parades, Carrollton starts the traditional parade season on the second Sunday before Mardi Gras. |
