Free Public Event
Join us after the Swampus Returns Sustainable Throw Workshop for a free community event focused on sustainable parade practices, creative alternatives to plastic throws, and how we can all make Carnival greener without losing its magic.
This eco-resource fair brings together local artists, Krewe creatives, and environmental organizations to showcase hands-on solutions for reducing parade waste. Explore handmade, green throws, learn about local reuse and recycling options, and connect with community groups already leading the charge toward sustainability.
• Talks
• Market
• Demos
Throughout the event, enjoy mini-talks and live demos from local experts and passionate advocates who are reinventing what it means to give during parade season. From upcycled costuming to handmade keepsakes, whether you're in a walking Krewe or simply curious about more sustainable celebration practices, this is your space to get inspired.
This event is part of Swampus Returns, a Halloween-season parade that dares to imagine what a celebration looks like when sustainability takes the lead. Swampus is where walking krewes, environmental groups, and creative changemakers come together to turn the tide on plastic waste and redefine the parade culture.
