CARNIVAL PARADE
DOZENS OF CARNIVAL PARADE TROUPES TO CHOOSE FROM
Hands down, the best way to enjoy a Carnival Parade is to join a parade troupe. The party starts around 10 am in the morning and doesn't end until late afternoon. Dozens of carnival troupe participants jam to the music of local bands and DJ's while sipping on endless adult beverages from their very own portable troupe bar. Each troupe has different themes and costume designs to fit every desire. Typically, troupes will begin to release their designs around 5-6 months before the parade.
