What do Flow Artists do in the parade?
Flow artists juggle, spin, dance, and hoop immediately in front of the Disco Amigos Banner to "Herald the Coming of the Disco!" You will have plenty of space and crowd attention to show off your stuff! It is open to anyone 21 and over who wants to join our funky disco party.
During the parade, Flow Artists enjoy:

Mardi Gras Parade Flow Artists Participation Requirements
Each participant is required to adhere to Mardi Gras ordinances as well as:
Nothing larger than a purse. You can only bring what you can carry. NOPD prohibits dragging, pulling or pushing any other equipment, including but not limited to: rolling carts, shopping carts, ice chests, mechanical bulls, or boom boxes. You are welcome to contribute your beer and liquor to the communal ice chests for all Amigos and participants, and will be loved for it.
No Party Favors! Mardi Gras laws do not allow parade marchers to throw or hand-out beads, cups, doubloons, stuffed animals, or any items other than your funky moves.
Line-up location and other details will be provided prior to each parade once you have registered.
We have an optional shuttle bus. Information will be provided in your confirmation email.
NOW LETS BOOGIE!
