Zones, Lineup and Parade Day Details

by

Please note, membership is at an all-time high. It will be a tight fit at lineup. Be friendly with your neighbors. If you don’t get situated in exactly the right spot because of limited spacing, chat with the folks around you to ensure you’re in the right order once we start moving.

Any members who have not yet picked up parking permits or wristbands MUST DO SO BETWEEN 4-6 p.m. at the check in tent near Homer Plessy and Royal. CHECK IN TENT CLOSES PROMPTLY AT 6PM. NO EXCEPTIONS. NO EXCUSES. PARKING PERMITS MUST BE PICKED UP BY 6 PM!

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR SCANNABLE BARCODE TICKET TO PICK UP WRISTBANDS ON PARADE DAY. THERE WILL NOT BE CASH SALES ON PARADE DAY. ALL MEMBERSHIP PURCHASES MUST GO THROUGH BROWN PAPER TICKETS.

Food Trucks will be available on Dauphine, across the train tracks from the lineup area. Bonafried, Ms. Beasleys Catering Co, and Crepes A La Carte are all confirmed for parade day. Ms. Beasleys offers 100% vegan menu, so there should be plenty of options for all of our alien beings.

We’ve ordered more portalets this year to accommodate increased membership. Lines will likely still be long at 6:45 when everyone is trying to get their last stop in before we roll. Plan your pee accordingly.

Only your contraption and someone to watch and/or move if needed are needed at your scheduled times. The rest of your Krewe can show up by 6pm.
Please enter with your contraptions from St Claude on to Homer Plessy. Avoid crossing Homer Plessy Way with contraptions or vehicles.
Zone lieutenants will point you in the right direction.
ZONES A-D please keep to the far right to allow for traffic flow until 5pm. After 5pm, the entirety of Homer Plessy Way from Chartres – St Claude is ours.

At the end of the parade, it will be vital to keep traffic moving once we turn on to Conti. The parking lot area we have secured for overnight parking will be right along the disembarkment area. If you are not parking in the secured area, please pull as far through the dispersal area as possible and pull to the side of the street. DO NOT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.

Contraption parking is only for contraptions, not motor vehicles. Please find other accommodations for your cars in the other nearby lots. Contraption parking will be for overnight parking only. There are no in and out privileges. Once your contraption is secured and parked for the evening, you can not return to the contraption parking area until contraption dismissal on Sunday from 10a – 2p. Please plan accordingly. At 2:01, your shit will be left to the Jawas for dismemberment and repurposing.

We have hired additional security to monitor the area for overnight storage, however the lot is an open-air lot, exposed to the elements. Please do everything within your power to secure, tarp and contain your items for optimal overnight storage. Do not leave electronics open to the elements or invite prying eyes with unsecured valuables. We will pull items in as closely as possible to maximize storage space. Please note, that may require moving your item before you arrive on Sunday to get to other items stored nearby.

Parking Permits must be filled out and visibly displayed on your contraption. You must have your barcode to pick up your parking permit, and it must be picked up at the check-in tent at lineup by 6 p.m. There will not be permit distribution at the parking lot. PLEASE NOTE: If you attempt to park in contraption parking without a permit, did not pick up your permit on time, or some other form of not following the aforementioned rules, your SUBKREWE will be sanctioned.

The Chewbacchanal will feature Mannie Fresh, Tristan Dufrene and DJ Nothing! Entrance is included with your Chewbacchanal memerbship (aka with your chewbacchus membership wristband). The party is all ages, but guests 21+ will have to show ID upon entry. DON’T FORGET YOUR ID. Guests should enter the Fillmore entrance on Canal Street. Masks will have to be removed for 21+ identification.

GA tickets are available for non-members for $20 via Brown Paper Tickets. There will be no cash sales at the door. Please purchase your tickets in advance. VIP wristbands are available to members and non-members. You MUST have your barcode ticket in order to get your entrance or VIP wristband.

ALL HAIL!!!
