Krewe of O.A.K. Walking Parade/Bar Crawl February 1, 2008

It's a Mardi Gras walking parade/bar crawl that begins and ends at the Maple Leaf.

Following Hermes (6pm), Krewe d'Etat (6:30pm) and Morpheus (7pm)

. . . OAK is more of a small classic neighborhood club. About 3000 people participate in the Krewe of OAK and there is no audience, only participants. It is much more of an adult environment. During Krewe of OAK you are welcome to invite anyone you want to join the parade with us and participate. Krewe of OAK is a stroll through 1.25 miles of the Carrollton neighborhood with frequent stops at local bars that takes about 3 hours. It culminates in front of the Maple Leaf Bar on Oak Street with a private ball and street party. Although the parade is actually quite organized behind the scenes, it will feel much more like a free for all in the streets. Krewe of OAK hires several local brass bands to play music while we stroll and dance. It is totally free to the public and completely open to anyone who wants to come . . .
