Rally on the Red

Bowl Week | East Bank District

The Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl is not just about the game but the whole bowl week experience! Fans can get the party started the night before the game with a trio of FREE events, including the Explore Louisiana Mardi Gras Preview Parade, Battle of the Marching Bands and a free concert. The parade kicks off the night from the Louisiana Boardwalk Outlets and runs through the East Bank District. That leads into the Battle of the Bands, a fireworks show and the concert in the East Bank District!
