Coming Soon!!!
Laissez les bon temps rouler, babes, because the final week leading up to Fat Tuesday is where things get delightfully debaucherous in New Orleans! And if you’re coming for the parades, the beads, and the boozy revelry, then buckle up, buttercup—you’re in for a wild ride.
Here at The Historic Mardi Gras Inn, we know a thing or two about Mardi Gras madness. Not only are we LGBTQ+ owned and operated (yas, inclusivity!), but we’ve also just undergone a gorgeous, hotel-wide glow-up—think of it as the drag queen transformation of your accommodation dreams. And honey, if you’re looking for the perfect place to stay during the most outrageous week in the city, look no further. We’re one block outside the French Quarter, which means you’re within easy walking distance to most of the major parades AND all the wild and wicked adult fun that makes this city so legendary. Need to venture further? A streetcar stop is just a two-minute strut from our front door.
The Parades: Where the Beads Fly and the Fun Never Dies!
Mardi Gras week is not for the faint of heart—it’s for the party warriors, the costume-clad bead collectors, and the folks who understand that sleep is optional when you’re living your best life in the Big Easy. And let’s be real—if you’re not getting lost in a sea of glitter and questionable life choices, are you even doing Mardi Gras right?
Here’s just a taste of the absolute chaos heading your way in the week leading up to Fat Tuesday, March 4, 2025:
🎠Wednesday, February 26 – Krewe of Druids & Krewe of Nyx: The mystic and the fabulous. Nyx, an all-female krewe, is the queen of the night, throwing their coveted hand-decorated purses. Yes, darling, you need one!
🎠Thursday, February 27 – Krewe of Muses: Bow down, mortals! The all-female Muses krewe serves up the most sought-after throw in town: the legendary glittery shoe. If you catch one, you’ve basically won Mardi Gras.
🎠Friday, February 28 – Krewe of Hermes, d’Etat, and Morpheus: Light-up floats, satirical madness, and the best excuse to day-drink on a Friday you’ll ever have.
🎠Saturday, March 1 – Krewe of Iris & Krewe of Tucks: Tucks doesn’t care about your dignity—it’s here to make you laugh with bathroom humor, toilet paper throws, and enough absurdity to make your grandma clutch her pearls.
🎠Sunday, March 2 – Bacchus, the Krewe of Kraziness: This is where things start to get extra wild, with a celebrity king leading one of the biggest and rowdiest parades of the season. You’re gonna need a recovery brunch after this one, trust.
🎠Monday, March 3 – Proteus & Orpheus: Proteus brings old-school NOLA elegance, while Orpheus—co-founded by Harry Connick Jr. himself—delivers the glitz and glamour. Basically, it’s Broadway on booze.
🎠Tuesday, March 4 (Fat Tuesday, aka THE BIG ONE! đźŽ) – The grand finale! Zulu and Rex take center stage, and the streets become an all-day, no-holds-barred celebration of excess. It’s the last hurrah before Lent, so indulge while you can. (Translation: Get it while the gettin’s good, because the next day, it’s nothing but regrets and Pedialyte.)
