Well, Mardi Gras lovers one weekend is down, but the fun is just getting started. We have a two-day break, and everything kicks off again this Wednesday night with the amazing all-lady Krewe of Nyx.
And to help you prepare even more for an epic 7 days of parading, drinking, and catching beads, we are showcasing a cheeky new guide that is offering the hottest takes for Mardi Gras 2020.
“The Interactive Field Guide to Mardi Gras” includes over 150 prompts that “challenge visitors and locals alike to high five the coolest walking krewes, sip signature cocktails, sketch “wildlife” in the French Quarter and much more – all while learning to party like an insider.”
Featuring 28 pages, this pocket-sized masterpiece gives insightful advice for all sorts of Mardi Gras-related things. From full parade schedules to bailing your friends out of jail, the Mardi Gras guide covers it all.
“Look, if we could personally escort every Mardi Gras visitor around the city daring them to have the time of their lives, we would. But we’re only two people, This is the next best thing.”
