Each year, one of New Orleans’ most witty and raucous renegade parades, Krewe du Vieux, passes right in our neighborhood. Rolling from the Marigny and through the French Quarter (Vieux Carré) into the Central Business District, Snug Harbor is nestled neatly in the middle of it all. This year, Krewe du Vieux passes by Frenchmen Street on the way to the Vieux Carré.

For Krewe du Vieux night, Snug Harbor removes the Music Room wall and opens up the place for one big three-hour party where the music & culture of New Orleans’ merges with a memorable weekend of New Orleans’ Mardi Gras parades and street style on one of the city’s hippest streets…

This year’s festivities will include The Unnaturals!

The Unnaturals are a New Orleans–based surf rock band serving up reverb-soaked guitar lines, driving rhythms, and a retro-cool edge. Rooted in classic surf sounds but fueled by the city’s unmistakable energy, their music blends twang, grit, and groove into high-octane instrumental jams. Whether soundtracking a beach day or lighting up a late-night stage, The Unnaturals bring wave-riding vibes with a distinctly New Orleans twist.
