What’s Your Mardi Gras Story?

From elaborate floats and marching bands to colorful costumes, live music, and the energy of New Orleans’ historic streets, Mardi Gras offers travelers an experience unlike any other. There’s no single “right” way to experience Mardi Gras, which is why every Featured Traveler brings a different perspective. For some, it’s about the parade route and celebration; for others, it’s the food, music, traditions, or unexpected moments along the way. Those experiences help future travelers discover Mardi Gras beyond the postcard version.
