Mardi Gras in New Orleans is called the greatest free show on earth, and while attending may not be free, it can certainly be cheap.
Mardi Gras, which translates as Fat Tuesday, closes out the Carnival season on Feb. 24 this year, just before Ash Wednesday ushers in Lent. There are 10 parades in the greater New Orleans area on that day alone, more than 50 in the week leading up to it.
On Mardi Gras, you can watch sumptuous floats roll by, catch bags full of plastic beads, stuffed animals and other “throws,” that riders toss from the floats. You see a much more ribald celebration in the French Quarter. Or you can also see the Mardi Gras Indians in their fantastic costumes of bright feathers and intricate bead work.
What to do and where to do it
There are several types of Mardi Gras celebrations. Uptown and in mid-city, there is a family atmosphere, although college students also stake out spots along the various routes.
The streetcar stops rolling down St. Charles Avenue at midnight as Monday gives way to Tuesday, and people begin grabbing their places along the route. Beginning with Zulu, the traditional black Carnival club, continuing through Rex and the hours-long truck parade, there will be nonstop throws from about 9 a.m. until dusk.
