Coming Soon!!!

Cosmic Fun in NOLA.

Calling all cosmic creatures, space cadets, and intergalactic revelers—get ready to beam into the heart of the Marigny for the wildest, wackiest, and most otherworldly Mardi Gras parade this side of the galaxy! The Krewe of Chewbacchus, New Orleans’ most star-studded intergalactic carnival krewe, is set to light up the streets on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at 7:00 PM with this year’s brilliant theme: “Rise of the Superb Owl.”

A Superb Owl Soars: What’s the Deal with the Theme?

Now, before you break into a full Wookiee roar (or cackle like Jabba), let’s talk about this year’s theme. The Superb Owl isn’t just some random nocturnal bird with an affinity for cosmic cocktails. Oh, no, darling. It’s a shimmering symbol of cosmic wisdom, enlightenment, and the dreams of Wookiees everywhere. This majestic creature swoops in to remind us that the galaxy is vast, knowledge is power, and Mardi Gras isn’t just about beads—it’s about transcending to a higher plane of fabulousness.

Whether you’re a Jedi, a Sith, or somewhere gloriously non-binary on the intergalactic spectrum, this parade is your time to shine. The Krewe of Chewbacchus will be rolling through the streets of Marigny and the French Quarter, spreading joy, glitter, and a healthy dose of nerdy nostalgia, with handmade throws, jaw-dropping costumes, and plenty of nods to sci-fi classics.

Location, Location, Location: Stay Where the Force Is Strong

Speaking of shining bright, honey, the Historic Mardi Gras Inn is right here in the Marigny, just a quick skip from the starting line of this starry spectacle. Yep, you heard me. Location is the name of the game, and our charming little inn is so close you could practically ride a tauntaun to the parade.

Nestled just one block off the French Quarter, we’re a hop, skip, and a strut away from all the rowdy adult fun you’re craving. Need to venture further into the city for even more galactic adventures? We’ve got a streetcar stop a mere two-minute walk from our front door. Now that’s what I call convenience served with a side of glitter.

And let me tell you, sugar, the inn is looking fabulous. We’ve just wrapped up a glorious glow-up inside and out—think sleek spaces, fabulous decor, and a vibe that’s as warm and welcoming as a hug from Chewie himself.

Make a Weekend Out of It

If you’re reading this, you already know one night of Mardi Gras magic is never enough. So why not make it a whole weekend of intergalactic mischief? Start your Saturday with a boozy brunch in the French Quarter (try the bottomless mimosas, darling). Spend the afternoon exploring Marigny’s artsy side, and when evening falls, dive into the Chewbaccus madness.

The fun doesn’t stop there. Sunday morning calls for a lazy stroll down Royal Street, where street performers will make you feel like you’ve wandered onto the set of Star Wars: The Musical. Don’t forget to stop by Café du Monde for a beignet (or three)—even intergalactic travelers need fuel, honey.

Why the Krewe of Chewbacchus Is a Must-See

This isn’t your average Mardi Gras parade, babe. The Krewe of Chewbacchus is an eclectic, eccentric love letter to all things nerdy, campy, and cosmically fabulous. Picture a dazzling mix of Stormtroopers tossing handmade throws, droids dancing to live music, and everyone from Spock to Sailor Moon strutting their stuff. Oh, and did I mention that this parade is fiercely inclusive? Just like the Historic Mardi Gras Inn, it’s all about love, acceptance, and celebrating your most authentic self.

Don’t Miss Out

So, pack your lightsabers, fluff your feathers, and get ready to dance with the Superb Owl. Whether you’re a seasoned space traveler or an intergalactic newbie, this is one event you don’t want to miss.

The countdown to cosmic fun has begun, and trust me, darling, there’s no better basecamp for your Mardi Gras mission than the Historic Mardi Gras Inn.
