Thread: Mardi Gras -Parade Tips

Mardi Gras isn’t one day, it’s a season and the season has already started - Jan. 6; but things really rev up the two weekends before Fat Tuesday - Feb. 28.
BTW, the NBA All-Star game is Feb.19 but it’s an all-star week-end event.

Parade Do’s and Don’ts
Do
Look at the route maps. The larger parades the ones with the marching bands and elaborate floats don’t go down Bourbon street, it’s too small.
Don’t
Past up an opportunity to go to the restroom
Pay for beads
Cross Canal Street/St. Charles/Basin (or any street) during a parade -I don’t care who or what is on the other side)
Pay to park in someone’s yard

Stand behind horse



Laissez les bons temps rouler!
