If you really want to experience Mardi Gras without all of the hassle, come to Scott. The parade is usually the Sunday before Mardi Gras and it is more of a family event. I promise you, you will come home with a lifetime supply of Mardi Gras beads

The parade has everything that the bigger cities parades do, motorcycle police leading the parade, flags, marching bands and beauty queens, and of course floats full of people throwing those beads.
