  • 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:

    www.mardigraspa... (Less comprehensive than above, but an excellent resource for paraade photos)
    Grandstand seating:

    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!

    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.

    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!

      Black masking Indians come out as early as dawn. Peak action late morning/early afternoon. Uptown gathering spots are 2nd/dryades and Washington/LaSalle

      Hey there! I actually give tours pretty irregularly these days - I step on and help when my colleagues need it. So neither I nor the management know very far ahead when I'll be on board. But I might see you on a French Quarter or Garden District tour, and one way or another, I can promise you're in good hands - I've learned a ton of what I know from the rest of the team, and they know lots of stuff I don't - it just so happens that I'm the ham who likes to be in front of the camera. Thanks for asking and for watching!

    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.

    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.
