We recommend 500 to 1,000 throws per float rider.  More is certainly acceptable.  These may be beads, doubloons, cups, frisbees, or other valuable trinkets.  Factory wrapped candies may be thrown.  Stuffed animals may be thrown.  Throws should be appealing enough so people want them, heavy enough to throw at least six feet, light enough so they won't hurt people, and pleasant enough to make everyone happy.  Toomy's in Mobile, Alabama. is frequently a good source of beads in bulk.  Calculate your cost per throw.  Traditionally, beads are purchased by the Gross (144 strands).  We recommend purchasing what you want to throw.

We realize that not everybody can make the trip to Mobile or New Orleans to get throws in bulk.  We have a limited number of throws available here.  

There's a lot going on immediately before the parade, so it's difficult to deliver newly ordered throws that day.  In fact, so much is going on in the last week that we can't guarantee orders made in the last week before the 2026 parade.  

​To repeat:  We cannot guarantee throws ordered after January 20, 2024.  

Pickup details can be arranged by contacting Co-Captain John Cashen at 706-333-1644 or [email protected].
