A short time from now in a parallel dimension not so far, the Mystic Krewe of Barkus will host its’ annual carnival parade on Sunday, February 8, 2015 at 2pm. The theme is set for Bark Wars: Return of the K-9. Dogs who want to be members of the krewe should get their humans to register at www.barkus.org. The pre-pawty parade at Louis Armstrong Park will start at 10:30am and the 23rd Annual Krewe of Barkus parade starts promptly at 2pm and follows a 15-block route through the Vieux Carré, stopping at the VIP Reviewing Stand at Good Friends Bar, corner Dauphine and St. Ann, where VIPs (and those who desire to be VIPs) will toast the Royal Court. May the Bones be with us all.
