Tickets

Before the parade, Mardi Gras Bash guests will have the opportunity to meet Krewe royalty and take guided tours of the parade route. Once the parades begin, the Mardi Gras Bash area is showered in beads, trinkets and toys thrown by Krewe members aboard dozens of huge, brightly colored floats. Following the parade, groups often enjoy nearby nightlife and casino gaming located blocks from the Mardi Gras Bash venue.

Groups looking to add Mardi Gras experiences to their itineraries can take a behind-the-scenes tour at Lilah’s King Cakes to see how authentic king cakes are made or shop for Mardi Gras souvenirs and parade essentials at Tubbs Hardware and Cajun Gifts.
