**PLEASE NOTE THE TIME CHANGE! HOUNDS ARE AWAY AT 6:00 PM SHARP! THIS IS SO WE DON’T MISS THE PARADES.
Come join the Voodoo for the Anal Muses Trail! Muses rolls early this year, so instead of a traditional trail, we’re doing a shoe scramble in Coliseum Square Park. Here is how it works: our shoe hares are hand-crafting special shoes for hounds to find. Shoes can sometimes be tough to get at the actual Muses parade, so this is your chance to take one home! Hounds will hunt the park for tokens that can be traded in for shoes. This should take about 15 minutes. We will do a short Circle/shoe distribution ceremony, then head to the parade.
Start is inside The Box! If you don’t also live inside The Box, we recommend parking on the other side of St. Charles and walking/running in. If you’re new here and don’t know what The Box is, just pray to G that you don’t live in it.
Bring: $1 (no coins); 6-pack or more if you need extra for the parades (glass discouraged), whistle, flashlight, and your Mardi Gras game face.
Date: Thursday, Feb 12, 2026
Time: 5:30pm show, 6:00pm GO! This time is SHARP.
Theme: Voodoo Muse Shoe
Start Address: Coliseum Square Park, at the intersection of Coliseum and Terpsichore (Inside The Box, so plan accordingly as you will not be able to cross St. Charles as parade time nears.)
Hare & Co-hares: The Iceman Thumbeth and shoe hares I’m “Just a Little Pee P”, Wax-on-Whacks-off, Whordini, and That One.
Pre-Lube: The Avenue Pub, 1732 Saint Charles Ave.
On-After: We’ll head straight down Terpsichore with the casket to watch the parades. We’ll be on the sidewalk side; will give the exact location in a comment on this post once we’re settled. Lula Distillery and Avenue Pub are nearby with good bar and bathroom access. Care Forgot Brewery too. There’s usually also a food truck in that area.
Dog Friendly: No, the city does not allow dogs on the parade routes.
Is a dry bag, shiggy gear, or anything specific needed for trail? No.
Approx. -l-l-l–> length: 0.25 miles. Hauling the casket to the parade route will be longer than the trail
