In the streets, you&#8217;ll witness a lot of people dressed in eccentric costumes, as well as children and their parents enjoying a fantastic time together. During the breaks between the parades, spectators can sit on the ground, throw balls, play music, and enjoy delicious food while watching the people pass past. <strong>Most non-essential businesses are closed on Mardi Gras day in observance of the holiday.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/new-orleans\/french-quarter-parking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-35549 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mardi-gras-parade-parking-2.png\" alt=\"New Orleans Mardi Gras Parade parking\" width=\"794\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mardi-gras-parade-parking-2.png 794w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mardi-gras-parade-parking-2-300x111.png 300w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mardi-gras-parade-parking-2-768x284.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a helpful hint if you&#8217;re planning to head to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras Parade 2022. Be sure to pack a large bag to collect all the beads and trinkets you pick up. It&#8217;ll come in pretty handy next year. That&#8217;s not the only hint we&#8217;re going to give you, though. Read on for all the info you&#8217;ll need to enjoy the Mardi Gras Parade in New Orleans this year.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_Mardi_Gras_2022\"><\/span>When is Mardi Gras 2022?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mardi Gras this year will be on March 1st, 2022. Carnival Season officially begins on January 6th.<\/p>\n<p>Each year on January 6th, King&#8217;s Day (Feast of the Epiphany), the Carnival season officially begins, but the main revelry in New Orleans takes place over the 14 days leading up to Fat Tuesday. Fat Tuesday is the last day for Christians to eat and drink anything they want before the 30 days of Lent begin on Ash Wednesday.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_is_the_Mardi_Gras_Parade\"><\/span>Where is the Mardi Gras Parade?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While there are Mardi Gras Parades all over the country and even in some other parts of the world &#8216;the&#8217; Mardi Gras Parade happens each year in New Orleans, Louisiana.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_get_to_the_Mardi_Gras_Parade\"><\/span>How do I get to the Mardi Gras Parade?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>New Orleans is well-connected by air, rail, and road. How to get there depends on how much time you have to spare for travel. You&#8217;ll be disembarking at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) if you&#8217;re flying to the Big Easy. MSY Airport is 15 miles west of New Orleans. You&#8217;ll need another 30-45 minutes to get to the actual parade routes. Almost all the New Orleans parades head down St. Charles Avenue and into the Central Business District. So that&#8217;s where you&#8217;ll need to be. Contrary to popular perception, very few parades go into the French Quarter because the historic section of town has narrow streets. To see the parade, you will have to leave the French Quarter or go to Canal Street at the edge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32952\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/new-orleans-mardi-gras.jpg\" alt=\"new orleans mardi gras\" width=\"640\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/new-orleans-mardi-gras.jpg 640w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/new-orleans-mardi-gras-300x192.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re in New Orleans, you can drive down and park close to the parade routes, or get there by streetcar, bus, bike, taxi, rideshare, or pedicab.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_best_Mardi_Gras_parades\"><\/span>What are the best Mardi Gras parades?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Local organizations called krewes (pronounced &#8220;crews&#8221;), exclusive groups made up of members, organize Mardi Gras parades.

This is usually quite the windfall for tow firms and the city&#8217;s parking violations bureau. They&#8217;ve issued more than 20,000 penalties during the festivities. Towing your vehicle can cost you between $125 and $175, depending on the nature of the parking violation.<\/p>\n<p>Finding street parking near a parade or in the Central Business District, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/new-orleans\/french-quarter-parking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>French Quarter parking<\/strong><\/a>, or near Faubourg Marigny is notoriously difficult, especially during the last five days of Carnival. Remember, the closer you get to a parade, the more likely you&#8217;ll be trapped in traffic. If you&#8217;re driving to a parade, plan ahead and find a safe, legal parking location. Parking enforcement is particularly stringent along or near parade routes, so avoid parking too close to a curb or a fire hydrant, and avoid blocking driveways.<\/p>\n<p>When Mardi Gras is in full flow, navigating the streets of the French Quarter may be a challenge. If you have a car, park it near the French Quarter. Canal Place, located at the end of Canal Street, is also a viable choice if access is not obstructed by a procession. In addition, you can find off-street parking in the Central Business District. However, &#8220;special event&#8221; parking prices may apply at any lot or garage in the French Quarter or downtown.<\/p>\n<p>Be aware of the parade schedules and routes while driving during parade season. Traffic jams are common around parade routes, so knowing when and where floats are rolling and planning your route ahead can save time and stress.<\/p>\n<p>Always remember that streetcars have the right of way. And don&#8217;t assume that just because New Orleans allows alcohol consumption on the streets means that cops are lenient when it comes to drinking and driving \u2013 far from it. They are especially alert around Mardi Gras since they know people are partying. Don&#8217;t be shocked if you come across an alcohol checkpoint while driving at night or going to and from the suburbs.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Follow_these_guidelines_for_driving_and_parking_during_the_Mardi_Gras_Parade\"><\/span>Follow these guidelines for driving and parking during the Mardi Gras Parade:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>If there are parades on the uptown route, Claiborne Avenue is a fantastic method to move between Downtown and Uptown.<\/li>\n<li>Parking on parade routes is restricted for two hours before and after the march.<\/li>\n<li>Parking on neutral ground is always illegal (the strip of grass in the middle of an avenue, otherwise known as the median). You may see a lot of folks doing it during Mardi Gras, and it appears to be legal, yet it is not. And the city&#8217;s parking cops are typically on top of it.<\/li>\n<li>Consider booking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/new-orleans\/french-quarter-parking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>parking for the Mardi Gras parade<\/strong><\/a> in advance on parking sites or apps like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/parking\/\/29.95106579999999\/-90.0715323\/New-Orleans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Way.com<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Be aware of what permanent street signs say during Carnival. Instead, keep an eye out for temporary cardboard signs that mention special prohibitions that exceed standard parking laws. Look for and read all signage in any parking lot you visit. If in doubt, don&#8217;t take the chance. If a deal appears too good to be true, it most likely is.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00a0Parking meters are enforced Monday through Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Meter parking is restricted in certain zones during rush hours, therefore read meters carefully before parking. Also, a meter with a hood over it does not entitle you to free parking.<\/li>\n<li>There is no on-street parking in the French Quarter. Access to vehicles is restricted in the neighborhoods bordered by Iberville, Decatur, Dumaine, and Rampart. If you&#8217;re staying in a hotel in the French Quarter, request an entrance pass from the hotel. These passes allow vehicles to enter the Quarter but do not permit on-street parking. It will, however, allow you to return to the hotel garage.<\/li>\n<li>Moving or maneuvering around the barricades set up by the police is a sure-fire way to get on the cops&#8217; bad side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_Mardi_Gras_parade_family-friendly\"><\/span>Is the Mardi Gras parade family-friendly?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Quite contrary to general perception, Mardi Gras is a family celebration. In fact, throws often include toys and stuffed animals. For instance, in the Garden District of St. Charles, families gather to watch parades, picnic, play ball, and enjoy the gorgeous ambiance. The only place you might not want to take your kids to would be the French Quarter (but there aren&#8217;t any major parades there, anyway).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_Mardi_Gras_cost\"><\/span>How much does Mardi Gras cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32953\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mardi-Gras-Beads.jpg\" alt=\"Mardi Gras Beads\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mardi-Gras-Beads.jpg 640w, http:\/\/wordwblog02.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mardi-Gras-Beads-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Not a thing!
