The Krewe of Bilge
Founded in 1978 by a few local residents who costumed
and decorated their boats to parade along the canals of the Eden
Isles subdivision in celebration of the Carnival season, the Krewe
of Bilge is celebrating its 42nd year with a membership of over
400 members. Frequently listed as one of the Top 20 Events by the
Southern Tourism Society, the Krewe will once again take to the
waterways of Slidell, Louisiana tossing beads, cups and other favors
to the shoreline on February 4th, 2023 at Noon. The Krewe also
conducts social events throughout the year for its members and hosts
one of the area’s largest Poker Runs held on the Sunday of
every Memorial Day Weekend.
Good spots for the public to see the parade and catch throws are
The Dock off Lakeview Drive, at various restaurants, bars and businesses
along Highway 11 including The Landing and Tooloula;s and on the
east side of the parade route, at the Firehouse on Marina Drive.
