Condé Cavaliers’ Mobile Mardi Gras Parade & Ball

Founded in 1977, the Conde Cavaliers open the downtown Mobile parading season. Members proudly point out that they held a ball and a parade in their first year.  The organization is named after the celebrated French general, Prince de Conde, for whom Fort Conde in downtown Mobile is named. It’s a large group that likes to throw.  One of the group’s four permanent floats, The Conde Cavalier Express, is an impressive, self-propelled, four-unit train.
