INTRODUCING 2023 OFFICIAL PARADE POSTER

N 2018, THE TRADITION OF PRINTING ANNUAL PARADE POSTERS WAS reignited when Katie Shingleton Maxcy designed a vintage-style poster depicting a band major with pipe in mouth… marching with a blackthorn shillelagh. Our 2019 poster illustrated the true flavor of our parade as seen from the foot of the Perkins Road Overpass. The United States Marine Corps Band was featured predominately with float riders tossing beads to the excited crowds as well as the Shingleton fire truck that brings up the rear of the parade annually.

The 2020 poster was created by Ray Gallegos, Creative Director for Raising Canes. This 35th Anniversary Poster features the Raising Canes’ plush puppy adorned in a leprechaun outfit.

Our 2020-2022 Grand Marshal was CEO Todd Graves, one of whose passions is pet welfare.

Hot off the press is our 2023 poster announcing Grand Marshal Tim Mockler. It was created by Courtney Morgan, Marketing Director at Mockler Beverage in Baton Rouge. You’ll see this poster around as we have increased the number of posters we printed for the occasion.
