NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Three parades rolled on Thursday night time on the Uptown New Orleans route, Babylon, Chaos and Muses.

Of us noticed three spectacular parades, with one of many high all-women’s krewes closing out the night time.

It is a fan favourite night time, as hundreds of individuals crowded the Uptown streets, longing for the parades.

“I am thrilled, man. I by no means come up down the highway. I stay down there in Buras. That is the one time I ever come down right here. Man it is lovely down right here,” stated one paradegoer.

The night time started with the Knights of Babylon, adopted rapidly by the Knights of Chaos after which all of it concluded with the crowd-favorite all-female Krewe of Muses, comprised of over 1,100 girls.

“It is a girls’s parade and we’re out right here for them,” stated a paradegoer.

“It is a girls’s parade. It is superb! They usually have the most effective floats, the most effective throws. They’re superb. We love them,” stated one other fan.

This 12 months Muses celebrated their twenty fifth anniversary, and for this particular 12 months, they went with the theme of “Tremendous Muse, Age of the Sheros.” Tremendous Muse is a fictional hero the Krewe has created whose mission is to save lots of New Orleans.

“Set 20 years in the past, a mean peculiar New Orleans girl got here dwelling after Katrina, and she or he opened her fridge, and the risky mixture of baking soda, champagne, all Chinese language meals, and spoiled milk exploded, and gave her superpowers,” stated Virginia Saussy, Theme & Float Chairwoman.

As Muses rolled, everybody had one goal on their thoughts: to get their arms on probably the most coveted throws in all of Mardi Gras: a high-heeled shoe.

“Properly my older sister lives right here in New Orleans, and all of us have a shelf stuffed with footwear, however you by no means have sufficient,” stated Paige Houser.

The social gathering continues Uptown tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. with the Krewe of Hermes.
