Per 2008, the krewe has 36 floats. Harry Connick, Jr. wrote and recorded a song for his 1994 album She, called "Here Comes the Big Parade". The song's music video shows clips from floats in the parade. The floats have a large amount of flowers, gilding and gold leaf. The flowers are made out of cardboard, wire, paint, gold leafing, some of paper-mâché, etc.

As though she had been forced to linger
From vague distress

Merely to loosen out a tress
Among the starry eddies of her hair....”

That floats against the ceiling of the woodshed.”
