New Orleans Mardi Gras Parades – When and Where?



Every year, New Orleans is home to dozens of parades of many different kinds. Some travelers plan all year to attend them, but struggle to choose what to attend or how to find dates they can afford; some travelers angle for a quiet visit weeks away from Mardi Gras, but accidentally land right in the middle of the action.

In this video, Andrew shares the basics of the yearly calendar – what happens when, where to plan to see parades, and how to figure out which parades you’ll enjoy most.

Parade calendars:
https://www.mardigrasneworleans.com/parades/ (This one is the most informative, including up-to-date routes and times as well as photos and krewe history)
http://www.mardigrasparadeschedule.com/schedule/ (Less comprehensive than above, but an excellent resource for paraade photos)

    Went to New Orleans twice last year. Once for Mardi Gras, then again for Halloween. What blast. I know everyone always love the big parades, but if I may, I would like to hype the Tucks Krewe. They were fun, threw us lots of stuff and most of them really interacted with us the most. Have fun and be safe y’all and I’ll see y’all next year!

    J'arrive !!! J'apporte les beignets et les crêpes au Nutella !! D'accord ?
    Quelqu'un s'occupe du cidre ou pas …
    Allez le temps de prendre un vol à Nice – Côte d'Azur et je suis à la Nouvelle Orléans dans quelques heures…

    I was lucky to be there last year for an internship program, it was one of my best experiences ever. I'll keep Mardi Grass and its memories always in my heart.

    Mardi Gras Day – I’ve never heard it called that. Fat Tuesday or just Mardi Gras (French for Fat Tuesday) as in “Mardi Gras / Fat Tuesday falls on Feb 21st this year.”

    Got down there for the celebration in ‘98. It was amazing. My neck still hurts when I look up.

    If you can't make it all the way to New Orleans, head to St. Louis. They have the 2nd largest Mardi Gras Parade and it's not too shabby.

    Lol, I just bought five books and forgot to put my name on it! I thanked y’all for basically showing me your home and made it feel like mine. Best wishes my friends.

    Thanks for the parade break down! To see the Black Indians where are they usually in Uptown? What time do they come out? Before or after the Krewe of Zulu? Also who has the best throws besides them and the coconuts on Mardi Gras day? And last question, which ones are more kid friendly if staying in the QTR? Of course alot will be seen by foot. Any activities happening in Congo Square or the L.A. Park in general at this time? Thanks! And keep doing what you're doing! I love your content!

    Thank you Andrew! Have attended Marci Gras in past and found the uptown parades to be family friendly. Also, was wondering if you could advise about parking. Thanks!❤️

    Remember to watch the weather forecast; you might need a coat, or shorts & t-shirt. In case of rain, you may want to pack a single use rain poncho.
