The Scott Business Association invites you and your family to “save the date” for the Annual “Family Friendly” Mardi Gras Parade to be held on Sunday, February 12, 2012 at 1:00 pm. Mardi Gras season is always a busy time with numerous parades; however, Scott’s annual parade is one of the only parades in Acadiana that promises to be “Family Friendly”.

All the activities planned are geared towards a celebration that the entire family can enjoy. No indecent float themes, riders, or throws are allowed and safety is of the upmost importance with police offers and volunteers walking the parade to monitor participants and visitors. The route also provides ample safe parking for families to setup pre-parade gatherings and port-a-lets nearby.

The Scott Business Association, Scott Police Department and other volunteers encourage all families to join in this year’s festivities. All Parade participants MUST be pre-registered. A parade pre-registration meeting will be held January 11, 2012, at Scott City Hall 6:30 pm, everyone is invited. Registration will begin February 3, 2012 at First Turn on Frontage Road in Scott. Any families or businesses that would like to have a float or trailer in the parade please attend the pre-registration meeting or go by First Turn for a registration packet which contains all parade detailed information.
