Who are we?

We are a group of volunteers working with the St. Claude Ave. Main Street program to revitalize the gateway street to our communities – St. Claude. We want to support local business, see the street cleaned up and beautified, and encourage people to rebuild our neighborhoods the way we want them to be. We want to remind people of what St. Claude was and pave the way for a bright future – sooner than later!

Why a Carnival Club?

The best way to get New Orleanians together is a party. We know that. So we're going to have our first great Inaugural Carnival Club Ball, then attempt a parade, and then sponsor events throughout the year so we can have a really great parade next year.  Oh, yes, and we'd like to have some fun!

What is our goal:

Parade -- January 26,  daytime

St. Claude Ave. from the bridge to Elysian Fields

If we can get permits (or afford them!), we will try for a walking, marching, musical, bike, and human-powered vehicle parade this year, and a much bigger one next year.

Please feel free to contact us in any of the ways listed above.
