Donaldsonville’s Mardi Gras season is starting with a bang—and a quack! The Krewe of Dville parade rolls out on Sunday, January 4 at 2 p.m., and this year’s unique twist is the chance to catch a special duck throw. Locals are already buzzing about sharing their duck photos online with #KreweofDvilleDuck. The parade route winds through town, bringing together community faces like River Parishes Community College’s chancellor and local high school seniors as part of the royal court. Who’s planning to line the streets, and what’s your favorite Mardi Gras throw? #Politics #Donaldsonville #MardiGras2026
