Put On A Show

Ian Somerhalder will be acting as co-grand marshal for Mardi Gras’ main event, the Krewe of Endymion Parade & Extravaganza in New Orleans. The star will be returning home for the event, where he will be joined by the other co-grand marshal, The Walking Dead‘s Norman Reedus.

Happening on Saturday, March 1, Ian will not only ride in the parade, but hit the streets of New Orleans’s to hand out exclusive The Vampire Diaries Mardi Gras beads. You can see what the beads look like in the photo above.

He must be so excited to return home for Mardi Gras! Anyone attending this year?
