The Carencro Mardi Gras Parade is organized each year by the Carencro Mardi Gras Association, a non-profit run by volunteers who love Mardi Gras. 2020 will mark the 37th Carencro Mardi Gras Parade which starts at Carencro High School and ends at the Carencro Community Center. The Carencro parade is a family friendly event and a highlight of the mardi gras season in the upper Lafayette area.
