Acadiana courts ride with throws made for them alone. A court name, a royalty title, or a sponsor emblem prints onto beads, medallions, and doubloons for the downtown Lafayette route, in the old Carnival trio of purple, green, and gold or in colors chosen to match the year’s costumes.
Throws for Lafayette’s Family Carnival
Lafayette runs one of the most family-friendly Carnivals in Louisiana, led by krewes such as Gabriel and Bonaparte and their royalty, King Gabriel and Queen Evangeline. Daytime and evening parades roll through downtown Lafayette, and each court and krewe wants throws that carry its name, colors, and court year. Riders plan quantities by float so the crowd along Jefferson Street never runs short.
Courir de Mardi Gras and Cajun Country
Outside the city, rural Acadiana keeps the old Courir de Mardi Gras tradition, where masked riders in towns like Church Point, Mamou, and Eunice chase the day across the countryside. Community groups and captains order custom beads and throws that fit both the city parades and the country runs. We match colors and print designs for either style.
