Parade

As we reported yesterday, there’s a better-than-even chance that ‘American Idol‘ star Joshua Ledet will be returning to town on Saturday like the conquering hero he’s become.  First, he’s here in our studios, then a parade, then a live performance at Burton Coliseum.

He’s hit the big time, baby, and he’s bringing it all back home if he makes it through one more week. American Idol favorite Joshua Ledet will be live in our studios this Saturday morning, May 12, during the 8 a.m. hour and there will be a parade in his honor and live concert at Burton Colliseum that same afternoon, but only if you get him through one more round.

Mardi Gras parade routes will be shifting this year, thanks to construction in the downtown area. The City of Lake Charles and Mardi Gras of Southwest Louisiana released the new route map yesterday.

It's time to light up the lake front in Lake Charles and it all happens Saturday December 3rd. The City of Lake Charles will hold its annual Christmas parade and lighting up the lakefront.  They plan on having a street parade, lighting up the front of the Civic center, a lighted boat parade that night and finish off the night with a fireworks show. Here are all the details on the event.
