Softball and Parade Throws at the Park

As an added bonus, the visiting teams will be able to enjoy our Louisiana culture by watching the Youngsville Mardi Gras Parade on Saturday, March 1, at 11:00 AM. As the athletic complex is on the parade route, it's a great opportunity to enjoy some Mardi Gras fun before the games, but you might want to get out there early as roads will be closing prior to the parade. You can find even more Mardi Gras events here.
