See the map of the new, longer Krewe of Endymion parade route in New Orleans​

Doug MacCashDec 5, 2023

Assistant football coaches from Tulane University ride along as Endymion rolls to the theme 'Endymion Salutes the Poets,' during its 57th annual parade Saturday, Feb. 18, 2023, in New Orleans. Katelynn Marie Russell reigned as queen and Barry Bairnsfather as king over 3,200 riders on 36 floats. Signature floats included the E-TV float, the 300-foot long Pontchartrain Beach float carrying about 250 riders and the Club Endymion float. The parade featured 32 bands and marching units from seven states and five colleges and universities. (Staff photo by Scott Threlkeld, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune) STAFF PHOTO BY SCOTT THRELKELD▲
The 2024 Krewe of Endymion parade routewill be about a mile longer with the addition of a stretch of St. Charles Avenue.

One of the largest in New Orleans, the Mardi Gras parade will begin its unique Mid-City route at Orleans and City Park avenues and proceed river-bound on Orleans Avenue. The parade will turn right at North Carrollton Avenue and left on Canal Street, heading downtown as usual.

At Elk Place, the parade will turn right and travel to Howard Avenue. The enormous parade will round Harmony Circle, then continue downtown on the traditional St. Charles Avenue route, past Gallier Hall. The parade will then turn right on Poydras Street and continue to Tchoupitoulas, where it will head uptown to Julia Street.


The parade concludes near the Morial Convention Center, where the krewe’s public post-parade party takes place.

Here's the map of the new route:

The Endymion parade 2024 wil have an extended route, including a turn at Harmony Circle and a stop at Gallier Hall▲

Mexicans are coming into town doing slide shows and local Hispanics are getting annoyed because the fingers are getting pointed but with the Super Bowl coming here next year, I'm sure that shit will be cleared out very fast.

What to expect​

More than 1,100 male riders on 44 floats will parade under the theme "Celebrations and libations Zulu Style."

The Zulu coconut remains one of the most coveted throws of the Mardi Gras season. Members hand decorated the coconuts before tossing them to people on the parade route.

There will be 440 Rex riders on 29 floats, and they will parade under the theme "The Two Worlds of Lafcadio Hearn - New Orleans and Japan." Themed floats include La Cuisine Creole and The Festive.

Each float has its own beads and sports towels.

What's the meaning behind the Rex theme?​

Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904), the inspiration for this year’s Rex parade, was a writer and foodie extraordinaire whose life spanned three continents. He was born in Greece and lived in Europe before moving to the United States, where he spent slightly more than a decade in New Orleans. In 1890, after three years in the West Indies, Hearn moved to Japan, which became his home for the rest of his life.

In the 120 years since his death, Hearn has become an obscure literary figure. But at the end of the 19th century, he was just as celebrated as such writers as Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe and Robert Louis Stevenson, wrote Andrei Codrescu, the writer and longtime New Orleans-based NPR correspondent, in a Paris Review article in 2019.

About Zulu​

The Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club formed in 1909. Zulu's founders chose their costumes to mock the demeaning portrayals of Black people in early 20th century culture and the pretensions of the all-White parading organizations of the time.

Each year, members don black makeup, wear grass skirts and hand out coconuts following in the example of their brave founders.

About the Rex Organization​

Rex was founded in 1872 with the goal of creating a day-time parade that would be the centerpiece of Carnival.

The name Rex comes from Latin which means king, so Rex is the king of Carnival.

Once people started throwing things from floats, Rex led in originating things like crew-specific throws. In 1960, Rex introduced the doubloon as a throw, which is now a traditional Mardi Gras-wide throw.
