Custom Cincinnati Reds Beads for Opening Day and Tailgates
Red and White Beads for Cincinnati Baseball
Cincinnati stages the oldest Opening Day parade in baseball, and the city takes the morning off to line the route in red. Bars, fan clubs, and parade entries print bead strands for that one perfect day and keep reordering through summer.
The Krewe is built into Promotion Beads to help everyone enjoy the parade. We're committed to keeping the site usable for visitors with vision, hearing, motor, cognitive, and neurological differences.

Beadguy Nation Mardi Gras
0:00 / 3:36
"Throw me something, mister!" "Hey now, hey now..."
St. Charles Avenue, floats rolling by Krewes on the boulevard, beads in the sky Purple for justice, green for faith, gold for power Fat Tuesday midnight to the Ash Wednesday hour
Masks on, feathers high, fleur-de-lis shine Catch a doubloon, catch a strand, catch a moment in time Hands up high when the trombone blows Laissez les bons temps rouler, here we go!
Beads for everyone, beads for anyone Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation! Purple, green, and gold, make it loud Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation! (Hey now! Hey now! Hey now!)
Bourbon Street balcony, neon and brass Flambeaux carriers marching past Rex and the Zulu, the Muses take flight Every parade is a brand new night
Medallion custom made, logo catching the light LED blinking on a twenty-six-degree night Hands up high when the trumpets sing Laissez les bons temps rouler, we're the real thing!
Beads for everyone, beads for anyone Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation! Purple, green, and gold, make it loud Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation! (Hey now! Hey now! Hey now!)
From the Gulf to the Great Lakes, coast to coast Carnival season is the one we love most King cake on the table, baby in the slice Throw 'em once, throw 'em twice, throw 'em thrice! Throw me something! Throw me something! Throw me something, mister! Hey!
Let the good times roll Let the brass band go Let the beads fly low Let the whole town know We are, Beadguy Nation We are, Beadguy Nation
Beads for everyone, beads for anyone Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation! Purple, green, and gold, make it loud Throw your hands up, Beadguy Nation! We are the Beadguy Nation! We are the Beadguy Nation! (Hey now! Hey now! Hey now!)
Laissez les bons temps rouler... Beadguy Nation rolling on... Throw me something, mister...
