We marched in the nation’s second largest Mardi Gras parade!

⚜️💜🍾 Thank you to the 11 excellent marchers who joined us yesterday in the Soulard Mardi Gras Parade!

We made history as the first vegan/animal rights group to officially march as part of the parade, mainstreaming veganism and raising awareness about our cause.

As we marched, spectators would often greet us with chants of “vegan” and “tofu,” showing how our message resonated with thousands of festivalgoers.

People loved our “Eat more tofu” and “Bro, Bud Light is vegan” signs in particular, with hundreds of people shouting in support.

In fact, there were many vegans watching the parade who felt an immediate sense of camaraderie and excitement when they saw us pass by.

We proudly displayed our STL Vegan Market banner and held signs directing people to VeganSTL.com, a valuable resource that highlights the best of veganism in St. Louis.

Soulard Mardi Gras is the second largest Mardi Gras celebration in the country, and we are grateful to have represented the animals and our local vegan community through our contingent in the parade.

Please join us again at World Day for the End of Fishing - St. Louis, MO, the next time we raise signs for a more just future!
