NEW ORLEANS — The 2024 Carnival season kicked off on January 6, and the Krewe of Oshun is set to roll on Feb. 2.
However, the parade has moved up 30 minutes to 5:30 p.m. instead of the original start at 6.
The parade starts at Magazine and Napoleon and then turns right on St. Charles Avenue and goes through Uptown and the Central Business District before turning right on Canal Street and then turning right again on Tchoupitoulas before ending at Poydras Street.
Founded in 1996, the Krewe of Oshun is named for the Yoruba Goddess of love and intimacy. It is led by a peacock float, and their throws include peacock figures and mugs.
