Swampus Returns
Sustainability on Parade
Swampus Returns this October with a month-long list of spooky events, Halloween pop-ups, and a can’t-miss main event on October 3, 2026. This year we will be inviting any Krewe or local organization that believes in reducing waste and making parades more sustainable.
Twelfth Night 2026
Twelfth Night Transfer of the Light
As Yule comes to an end and Carnival begins, the Krewe of Krampus which is the last parade of the year transfers the celebration spirit over to Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc which is the first parade of the Mardi Gras season. This ceremonial tradition gathers on January 5th and at the stroke of midnight when Twelfth Night begins the light is passed between these Krewe Captains ushering in Carnival.
