About this guide

An independent, source-cited guide to Carnival in New Orleans.

Mardi Gras Parade Guide gathers Mardi Gras information in one fast, mobile-friendly place: parade dates, routes, parking rules and practical tips.

How we research

• We cite a source for every rule, fee and date.
• Every parade listing shows how many independent sources list it. Anything listed by only one source is marked Estimate – TBA.
• Start times are marked tentative until the City Council and parish governments publish official times.
• We don't publish rankings or "best of" lists we can't back up.

Independence
