Daily & Mardi Gras Parades

Parades at The Big E

Hear that? The parade is coming! The Big E Daily Parade and Mardi Gras Parade circle the grounds, daily. Line the route and enjoy the procession of floats and marching bands, and catch a few beads as the parade travels by. Both parades come together for the Grande Mardi Gras Parade, Friday - Sunday.

The Big E Mardi Gras Parade

Every day is Fat Tuesday! The Mardi Gras Parade transforms the grounds into an authentic New Orleans celebration with traditional floats, dazzling lights, costumes, beads and rockin' tunes.

The Big E Daily Parade

Daily • 5pm
Every afternoon, Big E contingents, marching bands, animals and more, are lead around the grounds by BiggiE, our mascot! Hear great music from bands and marching units and see the Hallamore Clydesdales, tiny pony hitches and costumed characters!
