This is a short but important post! With so many Mardi Gras parades, it can be hard to keep track of them all. Luckily, over the last few years, there have been two apps that have made a huge difference in helping keep track of the parades. We’ll refer to them from here on out as “Tracker Apps”.
Should I Download a Parade Tracker App?
Yes! Mardi Gras parades can be delayed or changed - being able to track them in real time is very handy.
What are the options?
There are two parade tracker apps: WWL Mardi Gras Parade Tracker and WDSU Parade Tracker
WWL Mardi Gras Parade Tracker
The WWL Mardi Gras Parade Tracker App is a solid option. Beyond parade routes and real time tracking information, it has some basic information on each parade, including the theme and number of floats. It also is sponsored by Popeyes and so it’ll always show you the closest Popeyes :)
So which one should I choose?
Either app will work well. As you can tell, there is very little difference between them. We slightly prefer the WWL app as it gives a little more information on the individual parades but you can’t go wrong!
