So join us in the city’s largest women’s second-line parade to STEP UP to stop domestic violence. We’ve assembled dozens of iconic Krewes and bands to lead the parade through the Vieux Carré to shine a light on domestic violence in the most New Orleans way possible—with our blinking boas, bras, beads and neon attire. You don’t need to be a woman to attend. You just need to be ready to celebrate all the wonderful divas, ladies, and gals of the world. Schedule: 7PM-8PM: Pre-Party at The Mardi Gras Museum of Costumes and Culture 8 PM: Step Up Second-Line Parade through the French Quarter 9PM-11PM: After-Glow Party at Harrah's New Orleans Casino Theater
