Mardi Gras Parade

Crowd-favorite floats, such as the King Gator, Riverboat, and King and Queen floats are returning, along with some brand new floats. 

"This year’s theme is "Colorful Cultures Around the World," and it’s your passport to exotic faraway lands. The Elegance of India will enchant you with vibrant colors and hypnotic charm, while Chinese New Year celebrates Asian mystique complete with a giant dragon.

The Mexican Day of the Dead is led by a skeletal bride and groom who summon souls from the other side, and the Music of New Orleans brings it all back home to the great city itself, and the legendary music that made it an American treasure."
