Showcasing the magic of Mardi Gras, the first-ever Super Bowl Host Committee Parade will be held on Saturday, February 8, 2025, starting 10 a.m. in the heart of the French Quarter.

The parade is a celebration of New Orleans hosting its record-tying 11th Super Bowl, featuring Super Bowl-themed floats from NFL partners, high school and college marching bands, and local stomping groups, all highlighting the city’s unique culture to the world. Parade-goers can expect to catch a variety of throws, including NFL-themed beads and plush footballs. Brought to life by Carnival legend Barry Kern of Mardi Gras World, the Super Bowl Host Committee Parade promises a star-studded lineup of celebrity guests and athletes. Reigning as king of the parade will be Louisiana’s own celebrity, Todd Graves.

The parade is free, open to the public and will kick off at the corner of Esplanade Avenue and Decatur Street, winding through the French Quarter and down Decatur to Poydras Street, concluding on St. Charles Avenue in the Warehouse District. Mardi Gras bleachers and stands will be set up for viewing of this family event.

The entire parade will be streamed online on NOLA.com and broadcasted on WDSU Channel 6
