How can I ride in a Mardi Gras parade?

I am from southeast Louisiana. Does anybody know of who I would have to talk to ride in a parade? I live south of New Orleans so any info would be greatly appreciated.

I know it ended already. I was thinking about next year duhhhhh.

YES USUALLY AROUND OR BEFORE CARNIVAL IF U LOOK IN THE CLASSIFIEDS YOU CAN FIND ADS LOOKING FOR RIDERS OR YOU CAN RENT A FLOAT FOR A PARADE........
HOPE YOU GET TO RIDE NEXT YEA I LOVE TO RIDE...

find a friend who owns a float or a company that has a float and ask them if you can ride with them its a differnt type of party on the float.

You can either join a carnival organization [most expensive way], or you can ride in the truck parades [cheapest way] on Mardi Gras Day. You can start looking in the New Orleans Times Picayune newspaper classified ads under "Mardi Gras ", and there will usually be an ad seeking riders.

Ask a week before Mardi Gras, not a week after it ends.
