Krewe of Oshun kicks off on Saturday

BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — The Krewe of Oshun is returning to the Baton Rouge area to celebrate Mardi Gras. The parade is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Feb. 4.

“Coming to the parade here you’re gonna see about 14 to 15 local, middle high school bands, it’s really going to be fun. You’re going to see a lot of local organizations coming out forming their own crews, some family crews coming out, but really you’re just gonna see the best that North Baton Rouge has to offer,” said Bryon Washington, Krewe of Oshun president.

The president of Oshun said this year’s event is going to be bigger and better than last year’s.

The parade will start around noon on Harding Street and end on Howell Boulevard. A festival will follow shortly after the parade.
