The New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) has released a list of guidelines for carnival parade spectators:
- The department says police officers will be visible along all routes before, during and after parades and plainclothes officers will be among the spectators to keep an eye out for pick-pockets.
- Spectators are urged not to carry large sums of cash.
- Parade goers are also advised it is illegal to drink from an open metal or glass container on or near parade routes.
- Parents should place a note in their children's pockets with their name, address and phone number to help reunited lost children with their parents.
- Motorists are warned that illegally parked vehicles will be ticketed and towed.
- Owners or properties along parade routes are prohibited from erecting stands or platforms on the sidewalk, street or neutral grounds.
- The chaining of ladders to public property, light standards and utility poles is prohibited.
- The rule governing the use of ladders by parade attendees is that they be placed as many feet back from the curb as the ladder is high.
- Float riders are prohibited from tossing throws and favors to the rear and/or front of their floats and in the parade formation and disbanding areas.
