One key advice from a local park off the parade route or leave car at home or hotel. Always have designated driver. Get there at least an Hr or two in advance.
In a few days, I will be flying there. This is my first time going. I can only stay a day and night. My friends there are locals. They lived there most all their lives and they can show me around.
Thanks again for watching, Jeanne! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
I shared this video with my son. We are New Orleanians but my son was 5 when hurricane Katrina hit and we had to leave the city. We won't be celebrating Mardi Gras because I'm afraid there may be super spreaders but I will visit before Carnival day, I love and miss my city!!! Let the good times roll,

I love Barkus! My dog Skye, who passed away a few years ago, was a Barkus krewe member one year & marching in that parade was a blast! I have Zulu coconuts, Nyx purses, Iris sunglasses & even a Tucks toilet brush but, as of yet, no coveted Muses shoe. Getting one has become a sacred quest! Excellent & informative video, as always. And Andrew is serious about wearing closed shoes, especially in the FQ. The wet sludge, often called "Decaturade" , that flows thru the streets of the FQ is no joke, especially during MG.
Joy, our Bart was also a Barkus Krewe member. He also passed away a few years ago. I have been getting Barkus emails. It just breaks my heart.💔 I don’t have a coconut🥲,but last year Muses Krewe members had people nominate people who really could use some uplifting Carnival spirit. On what would have Muses Thursday night, a fully costumed&masked lady showed up to hand deliver a coveted shoe.

When you come to New Orleans you ought to see the Mardi Gras. It’s very much IYKYK but it’s also very much come and find out! You’ll love every minute of it! laissez le bon temps rouler
@@FreeToursbyFootHQ the pleasure is all mine grew up spending my summers in New Orleans with my grands between New York and New Orleans now I’m in Brooklyn and your videos always put a smile on my face so thank y’all for doing what y’all do!
I'm a local and here's something to think about for anyone thinking of coming here for Mardi Gras...... the NOPD is severely understaffed right now. They had to change parade routes just because they don't have enough police for the long routes. So don't be surprised if you become a victim of crime here and don't be surprised when it takes at least an hour for police to respond if they respond at all. I'm not exaggerating this. So if you do come....... good luck. If you want to go to parades then go to Metairie. That's where I go to see parades. The parades in Metairie may not be as big as parades in NOLA but they're a lot safer.

Great video as always! I can’t wait for the parade videos on Fat Tuesday. It’s a shame I can’t be there to see James, Andrew, Sandy and the incomparable Robi! I’d rather see y’all than any float! Love you guys and best wishes friends!
"How does one party like a local?" "Leave?" I had to laugh; I live in central Indiana, and that is exactly what a lot of Indianapolis residents do for the week leading up to Memorial Day (the Indy 500 trials and race, for those who don't follow sports).

Thanks for posting, very informative. Can you suggest hotels to stay at on the parade route and that are within walking distance from Bourbon, Canal streets?
A few years ago a friend of mine was going to that place in Florida and was stopping in New Orleans on a Saturday I told him great take the kids to a parade and he was horrified I explained about the season and kid friendly parades and we even made one of those ladder things for his youngest (What do y'all call those) anyway when they got back his kids talked about the parades as much or more than that place with the mouse.
THANK YOU for this video! We are heading your way later this month to celebrate our sons 21st birthdays. It’s a family affair and a few in our group have never been to Mardi Gras. This video puts into context visually and audibly what I can’t explain. This will be my 5th season attending. I was able to give you a Venmo tip and share your video to our Krewe. I greatly appreciate the information about cellphones, drinks and parade etiquette. - T*

@@FreeToursbyFootHQ My friends and I just got back from Mardi Gras 2022, and it was a blast. We watched so many of your videos to prepare! We did end up taking the 3pm voodoo tour, with Robert as our guide. He was great! He was very friendly and informative, and even gave us suggestions for dinner when we asked. Can't thank you guys enough for a great experience!
Awesome job Andrew 👏 I'm been to the Mardi gras it's awesome. In mobile and new orleans, if I lived there I would be there. I'm coming back in May can't wait 🤗 weather is better ! Scott from Kentucky!

Great video and very useful information, thank you! We’ll be there starting tomorrow and this is our first time😍 Can’t wait to see what’s in store for us. And can you please help me with booking tickets for Endymion extravaganza. I can’t find any link anywhere. Thanks!
Hey, sorry not to have seen this sooner (as Endymion is rolling as I type) - most likely they were already sold out by then. Hope you enjoy the parade!
I love your videos Andy! My husband and I are taking a cruise out of your port on March 5th. This is our first trip to New Orleans for both of us and we are so excited! We'll be in town on the 3rd and 4th. I'm sad Mardi Gras will be over by then. We'll also be in town on the 13th and 14th when we get back from the cruise. I wish we could take a tour with you on one of those days. You are so informative, and I'm sure your tours would be a lot of fun!😊

Would be nice if more people would wear mask in huge groups. Not concerned about the people in Parades (we have all been vaccinated, boosted, and/or tested within 72 hours of the parades) Wearing a mask isnt foolproof(see what I did there) but it HELPS prevent the spread. I am more concerned about all the people visiting that may not be vaccinated and refuse to wear mask. Stay healthy out there yall. We want to get back to something "normal" .... Let's encourage Healthy Supportive behaviors.

As a born and raised local, some info not mentioned... -Parking: don't be an ass. Listen to whomever's house you're parking by. Tow trucks and meter maids are everywhere. You park across a driveway, don't be surprised if you get towed. Don't leave expensive things in your car as they may get stolen. - Police: They are working 12-15 hour shifts. They are in bad moods. Do not pester them. If you get arrested during Mardi Gras, you are in holding until Ash Wednesday. Offer the cops some snacks and some water, and just be nice. -Drinking: it's a marathon, not a sprint. Locals absolutely hate drunk tourists. Don't pass out, puke, or pee on people's houses or lawns. We hate it, and then will hate you. -Location: Uptown is primarily for families. Don't watch a parade Uptown if you're going to get trashed and start flashing for beads. The parents will form an angry mob against you. -Attitude: Don't get pissy with the locals. We've been doing this a long time. We're happy to offer advice, give you a drink, or some fried chicken. We'd probably offer you a bathroom if you ask. Just be nice. We're all there to have a good time. - Carnival Balls: There are mainly two types, white dress balls and costume balls. The white dress balls start on Twelfth Night and run through Fat Tuesday. Costume balls usually start a little later in the season. Yes, you may see people walking around in formal attire. Yes, many people take it very seriously. But both types are having a great time and will gladly talk to you about it.

Very helpful! We live about 2.5 hours away and I've been thinking about taking my son to Endymion but I'm worried I won't be able to find a parking spot in a parking garage near Canal st and Claiborne😩
Kinda late to do so inexpensively but try booking a parking spot ahead of time. There are many available services/apps, but I normally use SpotHero. That way your parking is guaranteed and produces a receipt available (physical print out or QR/barcoded receipt) to avoid any issues. You will still likely be walking alot to get to your preferred parade, but you will have a parking spot. The earlier on you book (months out is best), it's usually less expensive. Be extremely careful to park in designated (and well lit/populated) areas to deter potential problems. Hope you enjoy your trip down 🎉

Try to be near the start or middle of the parade. You have to fight for space and throws the closer you are to the quarter. Any decent beads often get broken by someone else trying to snatch them from you. Endymion is too competitive for us.
Thank you for the information! Heading there in a few months. I didn’t know what the process on rebuilding after the hurricane. Would you say New Orleans is back up and running ? Appreciate the feedback.

Your statement that New Orleans Marci gras is the only one that throws stuff is incorrect. Evidently you’ve never been to the birthplace of mardi gras Mobile Alabama the revealers will beam you with beads frozen moon pies. You need to experience Mardi Gras in mobile just one time
I just got back from new orleans last night. Krew of chubacchus was amazing! I made a video about it in case anyone missed it: ua-cam.com/video/aGLOUjHahUM/v-deo.html This guy really knows his stuff and I wish I had seen this last week. ESPECIALLY the part about walking a lot. Bring comfortable shoes (but not the nice ones) and pack a bag of supplies. Once youre out you wont wanna double back.

Are you guys filming another Mardi Gras Live this year ?🎭
A few years ago a friend of mine was going to that place in Florida and was stopping in New Orleans on a Saturday I told him great take the kids to a parade and he was horrified I explained about the season and kid friendly parades and we even made one of those ladder things for his youngest (What do y'all call those) anyway when they got back his kids talked about the parades as much or more than that place with the mouse.
We can believe it, Ron!
Maybe you can touch of St. Josephs Day and some of the other parades ? Have missed you guys, hope all is well. Hope to see you soon.
THANK YOU for this video! We are heading your way later this month to celebrate our sons 21st birthdays. It’s a family affair and a few in our group have never been to Mardi Gras. This video puts into context visually and audibly what I can’t explain. This will be my 5th season attending. I was able to give you a Venmo tip and share your video to our Krewe. I greatly appreciate the information about cellphones, drinks and parade etiquette. - T*
We are glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the Venmo tip! We also hope to show you around New Orleans when you get here. You can browse our tour selection here freetoursbyfoot.com/new-orleans-tours/.

@@FreeToursbyFootHQ My friends and I just got back from Mardi Gras 2022, and it was a blast. We watched so many of your videos to prepare!
We did end up taking the 3pm voodoo tour, with Robert as our guide. He was great! He was very friendly and informative, and even gave us suggestions for dinner when we asked.
Can't thank you guys enough for a great experience!
Awesome job Andrew 👏
I'm been to the Mardi gras it's awesome.
In mobile and new orleans, if I lived there I would be there. I'm coming back in May can't wait 🤗 weather is better !

Great video and very useful information, thank you! We’ll be there starting tomorrow and this is our first time😍 Can’t wait to see what’s in store for us. And can you please help me with booking tickets for Endymion extravaganza. I can’t find any link anywhere.
Thanks!
Hey, sorry not to have seen this sooner (as Endymion is rolling as I type) - most likely they were already sold out by then. Hope you enjoy the parade!
@@andrewfarrier1937 No issues. We’ll plan it for the next time. We enjoyed all the parades and had a very good time in NOLA 🥳
I love your videos Andy! My husband and I are taking a cruise out of your port on March 5th. This is our first trip to New Orleans for both of us and we are so excited! We'll be in town on the 3rd and 4th. I'm sad Mardi Gras will be over by then. We'll also be in town on the 13th and 14th when we get back from the cruise. I wish we could take a tour with you on one of those days. You are so informative, and I'm sure your tours would be a lot of fun!😊

@@FreeToursbyFootHQ thank you so much and we'll definitely check out the link you gave me. 😊
Would be nice if more people would wear mask in huge groups. Not concerned about the people in Parades (we have all been vaccinated, boosted, and/or tested within 72 hours of the parades)
Wearing a mask isnt foolproof(see what I did there) but it HELPS prevent the spread. I am more concerned about all the people visiting that may not be vaccinated and refuse to wear mask.
Stay healthy out there yall.
We want to get back to something "normal" .... Let's encourage Healthy Supportive behaviors.
I haven't been to a parade in NOLA in decades since 1999 long time since I been down home 😃
Getting stuck in the box sounds the beginning of meet cute in Romantic Comedy … no cell phones no cars … Mardi Gras
I'll be there in 2 weeks from Atlanta

As a born and raised local, some info not mentioned...
-Parking: don't be an ass. Listen to whomever's house you're parking by. Tow trucks and meter maids are everywhere. You park across a driveway, don't be surprised if you get towed. Don't leave expensive things in your car as they may get stolen.
- Police: They are working 12-15 hour shifts. They are in bad moods. Do not pester them. If you get arrested during Mardi Gras, you are in holding until Ash Wednesday. Offer the cops some snacks and some water, and just be nice.
-Drinking: it's a marathon, not a sprint. Locals absolutely hate drunk tourists. Don't pass out, puke, or pee on people's houses or lawns. We hate it, and then will hate you.
-Location: Uptown is primarily for families. Don't watch a parade Uptown if you're going to get trashed and start flashing for beads. The parents will form an angry mob against you.
-Attitude: Don't get pissy with the locals. We've been doing this a long time. We're happy to offer advice, give you a drink, or some fried chicken. We'd probably offer you a bathroom if you ask. Just be nice. We're all there to have a good time.
- Carnival Balls: There are mainly two types, white dress balls and costume balls. The white dress balls start on Twelfth Night and run through Fat Tuesday. Costume balls usually start a little later in the season. Yes, you may see people walking around in formal attire. Yes, many people take it very seriously. But both types are having a great time and will gladly talk to you about it.
Hey ill be there during March 10th to 14th. Is there still going to be festivities and celebrations going on during this time?
No. All will be done by then but the city is still active.

Very helpful! We live about 2.5 hours away and I've been thinking about taking my son to Endymion but I'm worried I won't be able to find a parking spot in a parking garage near Canal st and Claiborne😩
Kinda late to do so inexpensively but try booking a parking spot ahead of time. There are many available services/apps, but I normally use SpotHero. That way your parking is guaranteed and produces a receipt available (physical print out or QR/barcoded receipt) to avoid any issues. You will still likely be walking alot to get to your preferred parade, but you will have a parking spot. The earlier on you book (months out is best), it's usually less expensive. Be extremely careful to park in designated (and well lit/populated) areas to deter potential problems. Hope you enjoy your trip down 🎉

Try to be near the start or middle of the parade. You have to fight for space and throws the closer you are to the quarter. Any decent beads often get broken by someone else trying to snatch them from you. Endymion is too competitive for us.
Thank you for the information! Heading there in a few months. I didn’t know what the process on rebuilding after the hurricane. Would you say New Orleans is back up and running ? Appreciate the feedback.
We're back, Marlen. Have you watched our Katrina videos? Here's Part 1 ua-cam.com/video/1a4Q58lQH8U/v-deo.html.
St. Patrick parade I caught cabbage.
Thanks again for watching, Phil! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
Great video, Andrew. I did not hear you tell us the date of Mardi Gras 2022, however.
1:42 it was printed on screen.
This may be a bit of a strange question to ask a channel thats all about New Orleans tourism, but have you experienced any of the other Mardi Gras celebrations in Louisiana or even the Mardi Gras in Mobile, AL?
Mardi Gras is the day before Ash Wednesday.
That would be the easier way of explaining it :)
New subscribe of your channel from philippines , I want to see the vedio of mardi gras parade I hope to experience someday mardi gras parade.
Thanks for subbing! We have a Mardi Gras playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV0VmDxZ7i5YCa-ggtA31B-I.html.
How do you get an invite to a ball?
St. Charles is the best place to watch all the Uptown parades.
Mardi Gras season in New Orleans
But did you keep the whip?

You can see people acting indiscreetly lol
Yeah, might as well leave your keys in the car with the windows down. It will get stolen or towed anyway!
Your statement that New Orleans Marci gras is the only one that throws stuff is incorrect. Evidently you’ve never been to the birthplace of mardi gras Mobile Alabama the revealers will beam you with beads frozen moon pies. You need to experience Mardi Gras in mobile just one time
Nb
Step 1 DONT GO!!!!
Are people wearing masks?
Some.
Barkus is good, St. Ann Parade is always Very Good, the rest is one big yawn generally for tourists or poor residents. Tired of all the hype.
I hate Lousiana!
I just got back from new orleans last night. Krew of chubacchus was amazing! I made a video about it in case anyone missed it: ua-cam.com/video/aGLOUjHahUM/v-deo.html
This guy really knows his stuff and I wish I had seen this last week. ESPECIALLY the part about walking a lot. Bring comfortable shoes (but not the nice ones) and pack a bag of supplies. Once youre out you wont wanna double back.
