The Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl is not just about the game, it is about the whole bowl week experience!

Get an early taste of what is to come during the Mardi Gras season with the Mardi Gras Preview Parade which features floats from local Krewes and the two university bands and spirit squads! The parade starts in the Louisiana Boardwalk Outlets and flows through the East Bank District in Bossier City! Following the parade, the two school marching bands will then face off in a Battle of the Marching Bands in the East Bank Plaza! After the Battle of the Bands, a fireworks show will lead into the concert to cap off the night!
