Barkus_Day_Parade
The Mystic Krewe of Barkus is a New Orleans Mardi Gras parade where participants are dogs costumed according to a central parade theme. The annual event is organized by the Krewe of Barkus, a nonprofit organization that promotes adoption and rescue of homeless animals in New Orleans.[1] The Mystic Krewe of Barkus makes fun of the more traditional New Orleans Mardi Gras parades[2][3] and is the only Mardi Gras "krewe" in New Orleans created for dogs.[1]
