Bud Light Grand Parade

Saturday, March 1, 2025

Parade Starts: 11:00 am 

Soulard Neighborhood

Free Event

This event is the crown jewel of the Soulard Mardi Gras season and the biggest parade outside of the Big Easy. The krewes get rolling near Busch Stadium, but the real fun starts at Chouteau, where the crowds begin lining the streets. From there, the parade winds through Downtown South and Soulard, all the way to the iconic Anheuser-Busch Brewery—home to where your beer was born.

Bud Light Party Tent

You shouldn’t have to choose between being directly on the parade route, warming up from the cold, a dance floor with body-moving beats, a restroom without a line and being able to grab a drink whenever you need another.  

That’s why the all-inclusive Bud Light Party Tent is THE place to be for over 8 hours of beer, beats and booze in two climate-controlled tents.
