Now in its 24th year, the annual Krewe of Highland Parade is a funky, unpredictable neighborhood parade that is typically made up of a combination of huge, colorful floats and quirky, homemade mini-floats, as well as numerous marching groups and bands. Among other things, the parade is known for its unusual "throws" – the items tossed by float riders and members of marching krewes – which have historically included grilled hot dogs, packaged ramen noodles and original works of art. Great places for visitors to watch the parade include the start of the parade near Marilynn's Place, the west side of the Centenary College of Louisiana campus, the area near Columbia Park at 600 Columbia Street in Shreveport and the area near Noel Memorial United Methodist Church at 520 Herndon Street in Shreveport.
