The Krewe of O.A.K. will celebrate its 30th year as it hits the sweltering Uptown streets with its annual Mid-Summer Mardi Gras parade on August 27. What began as a modest Carrollton neighborhood bar crawl has mushroomed into a procession of more than 10,000 costumed marchers.
Cara-Mia Noto and Jamie Bernstein will reign as Queen and King of the 30th Krewe of O.A.K. Mid-Summer Mardi Gras parade.
Theme is "Get Wet."
