Although Mardi Gras is known as “the Greatest Free Show on Earth” and parades are free to view on public streets, there’s nothing like having a clean restroom, free-flowing drinks and great New Orleans food close by, not to mention a balcony view of the crowds below after the parades. Here you’ll find great packages either on or near the parade route and in the French Quarter after the parades.
While the packages below are from 2024, they’ll give you an idea of what kind of offerings will be available next year. Check back here as Mardi Gras 2025 gets closer for current package information. For a list of restaurants we recommend you visit during Carnival, we invite you to click here.
