The new parade will roll on July 27

If you didn't catch a purse during Mardi Gras, you'll get another chance this summer.

The Mystic Krewe of Nyx will roll down a new route on July 27 for their first ever summer parade.

“The Krewe of Nyx has consistently raised the bar,” Founder and Captain Julie Lea said. “We think it is a great way to bring additional revenue and tourism to the city during the summer. A summer parade is a logical and fun bridge from one Mardi Gras season to the next.”

Instead of their signature purses, Krewe of Nyx members will throw bejeweled plastic beach shovels.
