NEW ORLEANS — The 2024 Carnival season kicked off on January 6, and the Knights of Babylon is set to roll on Thursday, Feb 8, at 5:30 p.m.
The parade will start at the intersection of Napoleon Avenue and Magazine Street. They will then go through Uptown and the Central Business District before turning right on Canal Street and then turning right again on Tchoupitoulas before ending at the intersection of Tchoupitoulas Street and Poydras Street.
The Knights of Babylon were founded in 1939 with the goal of putting on a first-class parade for the public. Babylon uses floats with the same designs that were used more than 70 years ago.
