The parades and parties begin on the Twelfth Night and become more concentrated about two weeks before and through Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday.
Parades through the French Quarter and the Marigny are walking parades, not the traditional large float parades.
Visit mardigrasneworleans.com for parade schedules, further information and interactive routes for each parade.
Please note: Parade routes & schedule are subject to change without notice.
