This year's theme is Jammin' with Janus. The Twin Cities' Krewe of Janus Parade has entertained revelers since 1984 who gather along the 3.8-mile route through West Monroe and Monroe.

The parade includes nearly 50 units featuring several High School bands, as well as ULM's Sound of Today marching band. The Parade has been recognized as one of the Top 20 Tourism Events in the South for three consecutive years as well as a Top 10 Attraction by the Southeast Tourism Society.

The parade route is 3.8 miles long. It starts in West Monroe at 1118 Natchitoches Street and ends at Oliver Road in Monroe.
