The Krewe of Bilge is a Mardi Gras boat parade in Slidell, Louisiana,
which throws to paradegoers from the middle of Slidell waterways! Some
great spots to catch the parade are at The Dock of Slidell off Lakeview
Drive, along Highway 11 at Michael's Restaurant, The Landing, and
Tooloula's, and on the east side of the parade route at the firehouse on
Marina Drive!
Krewe Of Bilge was founded in 1978 by local Slidell residents, who
costumed and decorated their boats to parade the canals of the Eden
Isles subdivision. Today it has over four hundred members and has been
listed as one of the Top 20 Events by the Southern Tourism society.
