The Bayou Mardi Gras Association is proud to announce Verge Ausberry as our 2026 Grand Marshal!
A native of New Iberia, Verge Ausberry has made our community proud as the Director of Athletics at LSU, leading one of the most respected athletic programs in the nation. His commitment to excellence, leadership, and Louisiana traditions makes him the perfect choice to lead this year’s parade.
