    MARDI GRAS 2023 INFORMATION AND RULES
    We will take reasonable precaution to protect your description; however, we reserve the right to edit as necessary.    Please contact a Co-Captain if there is any questions.  

    Final Agreement: I have read the 2023 Mardi Gras Parade Information and Rules and will adhere to the same.  I do not hold the Krewe of Mask liable in case of misadventure. 
    Line-up Points:  Will be assigned PRIOR to Parade date.  Marching Groups, Bands, Floats, Vehicles may have different line up points.  Be SURE to include contact info for cell phone and email so your line up site can be transmitted to you.  

    Vehicles (Trucks) — Trucks will only be allowed if they are decorated according to the parade theme and are carrying a group of people representing an organization. Trucks will not be allowed with only a business sign on them — instead, business trucks are encouraged to pull a float.  Floats must be able to make all turns in the parade, so presently, there is a 24 foot limit on the length of trailers. Floats must be able to navigate downtown, so a 12 foot height limit is enforced. 

    When dropping off someone at the parade, do not drive to the parking lot at Sweetland unless handicapped.  Anyone driving a float and/or motorized vehicle must have a valid driver’s license. Please scroll to the bottom of our map page under the participation section of our website to see your entry number and line-up point before the parade.  www.kreweofmask.com/maps.html The line up points are now spread across two parking lots one at Sweetland and one at Emory's Clark Holder Clinic. Due to spacing issues and to ensure a smoother parade launch if you are a walking unit please do not park in these two parking lots unless handicapped.

    Safety:  We require that all children’s groups arrive as a group with an adult leader. Group leaders, please stay with your group after the parade until each child has been picked up by his/her parent/guardian.  During the parade, all entries should keep 30-feet from the entry they are following.  Foghorns are prohibited.  Unregistered entries will not be permitted.  Remember this is a family friendly parade - enjoy yourselves and be excellent to each other.    

    Throws:  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, AL. is frequently a good source of beads in bulk.  Traditionally, beads are purchased by the Gross (144 strands).  The Krewe of Mask can provide to Krewe members at about cost and for a slight markup to others as a matter of convenience.  We recommend purchasing what you want to throw.  

    Costs: Registration for privately owned units is 25 dollars for a vehicle or a group.  If you are paying by check, they may be made out to "The Krewe of Mask".   Schools, bands and invited guests are exempt from registration costs at the discretion of the Captains.  

    Theme:  For the 2023 parade, a theme has been selected"  "Krewe of Mask Loves the Wonders of the World".  This theme celebrates all Wonders of the World both ancient and modern. This can include natural and man made wonders. Love and Valentine's Day are also part of the theme since the holiday is so close. Units will depict non-political events. 

    Rules: The Krewe of Mask reserves the right to deny participation to any entry that, in our opinion, is non-compliant with rules, causes disruption, misrepresents the traditional Mardi Gras spirit and/or the parade theme.  The Krewe of Mask is not liable for any misadventure which may occur to anyone in or at the parade; however, we will do what is reasonable to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment.
