Custom Soulard Mardi Gras and Event Beads for St. Louis, Missouri
Custom Beads and Throws for Soulard Mardi Gras
Soulard Mardi Gras is one of the largest Carnival celebrations in the country, and its Grand Parade fills the historic Soulard streets with krewes who take their throws seriously. St. Louis adds PrideFest and a major St Patrick parade, so the city’s krewes and bars stay in the printing habit year round.
Krewe-Grade Throws
Soulard krewes print names and years on full-color medallion beads and add doubloons for the collectors along the route. LED strands handle the night events, and Cardinal red runs cover the baseball season. The krewe beads page goes deeper on parade planning.
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.
