The event will bring together two of Jefferson Parish’s most cherished traditions for a unique spectacle along Metairie Road.

The event will now take place alongside the St. Patrick’s Day Parade of Jefferson, creating a once-in-a-lifetime occasion where Mardi Gras meets St. Patrick's Day.

"This unique situation will allow us to bring together two of Jefferson Parish’s most historic traditions," the parish president said.

Jefferson Parish President Cynthia Lee says officials have decided to combine the annual St. Patrick’s parade with the postponed Argus parade that was canceled on Fat Tuesday.

Mardi Gras is officially in overtime as Metairie’s Krewe of Argus gets a new date to roll. The Krewe of Argus, originally scheduled to roll in Jefferson Parish on Mardi Gras Day, Tuesday, March 4, is now scheduled to roll on Sunday,

Thoth Parade spokesperson Penny Larson, contacted Monday, said he removed a krewe member and the float's lieutenant for going against the krewe's policies that prohibit riders from throwing any items that are sexual, politically oriented or offensive, he said. "They're gone. This is getting out of hand," he said.
