NEW ORLEANS
BE A KREWE MEMBER
Join us as a krewe member of The Recycle Challenge! We have been
invited by the newest krewe, "GREEN BEANS" to join in positive energy
with an earth-friendly parade on Lundi Gras. Expects to attract over
1,000 attendees on this high-energy day before Mardi Gras Day.
The Parade will have NOLA bands and artists
marching as we celebrate throughout the City of New Orleans.
During this fun event, the Krewe of the Recycle Challenge
will toast Mardi Gras on Lundi Gras, as well as
demonstrating the importance of reducing waste by creating
and wearing costumes made of recycled materials.
See the below example of how we repurpose recycled
material into a costume.

Be part of a New Orleans Parade by participating in our Lundi Gras Parade! Experience the crowds and excitement as they go after your throws and view our eco-conscious costumes.
