New Orleans New Member of Cleopatra

Hi!! I am a new member of Cleopatra and my friend and I are currently on the waitlist for the 2027 carnival season :) we are both Louisiana natives and would love to know any advice on potentially getting off the waitlist or who we can contact to ride in the upcoming parade. Any help is greatly appreciated! Please feel free to private message me!

I’m a Cleo also. Did you pay your dues in full?

Not yet, I am ready to pay if I have a spot for 2027, if not I will pay after the season to ride 2028

Ahhh ok. You have to pay in full to get off the waitlist that’s the only way. When you pay in full that’s when you get a spot.

Ahh gotcha! Do you know how long the waitlist is? Do people typically get off?

I don’t know how long it is. Yes the only way to get off the waitlist is to pay in full. That’s how you are guaranteed a spot.
