Lundi Gras is the Monday before Mardi (Tuesday) Gras. And in New Orleans, folks traditionally cook red beans and rice on Monday.
So it only makes sense that there would be a parade on Lundi Gras that celebrates the humble bean.
It's the Red Bean Parade! Everybody creates costumes by gluing dried beans on their clothes. The possibilities are endless!
