Mardi Gras in the Heart of Central Louisiana has really taken hold of Central Louisiana since the first parade was held in 1994.  Alexandria's Mardi Gras has grown from ten floats and four Mardi Gras Krewes to many floats and Mardi Gras Krewes.  Parades are held in downtown Alexandria and the Texas Avenue - Alexandria Mall area, with other Mardi Gras events at other locations around the Central Louisiana area.  Check out Alexandria-Louisiana.com website for parade times and events throughout the season
