St. Louis Mardi Gras 2023

What started as a two-block march up Russell Blvd. in 1980 is now the event of the season, and one of the biggest Mardi Gras parades in the nation. The Bud Light Grand Parade is a dazzling show with more than 80 entries in 2023, including several floats, marching, and riding krewes throwing more than 15 million beads along a route from Busch Stadium to the Anheuser-Busch brewery. The parade starts at 11:00 a.m. from South Broadway and Chouteau Avenue. Nearly 25% of Grand Parade Day visitors come from outside the St. Louis region, making a significant contribution to the $20 million that Soulard Mardi Gras generates each year for the regional economy.
