Coming this Soon!!!
Laissez les bons temps rouler, darlings! Valentine’s Day 2025 is shaping up to be an unforgettable affair here in New Orleans, thanks to the fabulous Krewe of Bohème. Whether you’re coupling up or flying solo, this Valentine’s Day is your golden ticket to a romantic, raucous, and downright dazzling weekend in the city that knows how to do love and laughter right. And lucky for you, the Historic Mardi Gras Inn is perfectly perched just one block from the French Quarter, ready to be your chic home base for all the revelry.
A New Parade Joins the Mardi Gras Magic! 🌈✨
In its inaugural debut, the Krewe of Bohème Parade will sashay through the enchanting streets of the Marigny and French Quarter on Friday, February 14th, starting at 7:00 PM. With a mission to celebrate creativity, individuality, and the joie de vivre that makes New Orleans legendary, this parade is the glitter-drenched love child of art, romance, and Mardi Gras madness. Picture ethereal floats, avant-garde costumes, and performances that blur the line between whimsy and wonder—this isn’t your average parade, sugar, it’s a cultural experience.
The Route: Where to Catch the Magic 🎭
The parade kicks off in the Marigny neighborhood, starting near Franklin Avenue and Royal Street, winding its way down Frenchmen Street, and diving straight into the heart of the French Quarter. The revelry concludes near the famed Bourbon Street—just in time for you to step off the parade route and into one of the Quarter’s iconic bars, restaurants, or dance clubs. Whether you’re catching beads or catching feels, this parade sets the stage for the perfect Valentine’s evening.
Romance, Revelry, and Raucous Fun ❤️🥂
What makes this parade extra special? It’s the first time the Krewe of Bohème will grace our streets, bringing a fresh dose of enchantment to an already magical city. The Krewe prides itself on celebrating inclusivity and imagination, so expect performances that are bold, beautiful, and maybe even a little bawdy (this is New Orleans, after all). After the parade, you’re already smack dab in the middle of the French Quarter, which means the night is just getting started. Indulge in romantic dinners at world-class restaurants, explore hidden cocktail lounges, or dance the night away to live music.
No Valentine’s plans? No problem. New Orleans has always been the city where solo hearts find their rhythm—and perhaps a dance partner or two.
