Doubloons to be featured, thrown in Okeanos Parade
Doubloons to be featured, thrown in Okeanos Parade
Parading for almost 10 years, the Mistick Krewe of Okeanos Mardi Gras Parade is more exciting and fun than other parades because riders of the floats and other entries don’t just stand and wave, they toss things to the crowds that are watching. The tradition of float throws came about in the 1870s in New Orleans with the Twelfth Night Revelers who decided to throw prizes to the parade goers. It wasn’t until the 1920s that parades starting throwing glass beads. 02/20/2022 05:00 AM
