New Orleans Mardi Gras
Beads, Parades & Pure Fun

New Orleans

March 4
Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a lively and colorful explosion of music, costumes, and parades. The streets of the French Quarter fill with revelers decked out in beads, while elaborate floats glide down the parade routes. Known for its “let the good times roll” attitude, Mardi Gras is all about indulgence before the start of Lent. From masquerade balls to the vibrant street parties, it’s a celebration you’ll never forget.
