Immerse yourself in the electrifying energy of New Orleans this Mardi Gras. The city ignites in a spectacular explosion of purple, green, and gold, culminating on Fat Tuesday. Dance down the avenues as magnificent, hand-crafted floats roll by. Catch flying strings of beads, listen to booming high school marching bands, and indulge in sweet king cake. Between parades, escape to Frenchmen Street for world-class live jazz, completing the ultimate celebration of pure Southern joy.
