Carnival season returns each year on January 6 with Twelfth Night celebrations, so beginning the season of revelry unique to southeast Louisiana. We have many ways to celebrate on the Northshore... parades will roll (or stroll, or strut), kings and queens will be crowned at Carnival Krewe Balls and all things purple, green and gold will adorn streets, houses, people and pups. It all culminates on Fat Tuesday, February 17, 2026, with celebrations right up to midnight. On The Northshore, we keep the paw-ty going a bit longer with dog parades in Mandeville and Covington after the big event.
See how we let the good times roll in St. Tammany--check out our ideas and the Northshore parade schedule below, then grab your Krewe and geaux!
