Dogs, boats, and floats are on parade during St. Tammany Parish’s fun and family-friendly Mardi Gras. If you’re looking for the gee-rated, always free version of Carnival, find it here on Louisiana’s Northshore, just 40 minutes north of New Orleans’ French Quarter. Hotels are affordable and convenient for catching parades both on the Northshore and in New Orleans. (Parking is always free, too). Mardi Gras is Tuesday, March 5, 2019, but we begin partying and parading on January 6. See below for a list of Mardi Gras events and parades from January 6th through March 10th.
