Krewe de Canailles 2026: Roadside Attractions

This Mardi Gras, we’re pulling off to the side of the road and driving head-on into the weird, wild world of ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS! From fonky old couches and gas-station boudin to UFO landing sites, quirky churches, and the World’s Largest Whatever, Krewe de Canailles is celebrating all the things you stumble upon when you weren’t even looking. If it makes you laugh, scratch your head, or slam on the brakes—bring it to the parade and cruise with us through Downtown Lafayette! This year’s not just a parade—it’s a love letter to every detour, roadside gem, and glorious pile of junk that makes backroad adventures so unforgettable.
