After a week of catching all of the New Orleans themed parties, I headed down to the Big Easy to participate in the main event: Mardi Gras . The Big Easy does its Mardi Gras with a bang. The city is alive with visitors, locals, and party people who come to party. This is reflected in the thousands of people who flock to the streets to celebrate the most important day of the year.
New Orleans has many fun activities to get involved in during the annual Mardi Gras season, but if you want to live like a local, you probably don’t want to visit the city during Carnival. There are many options for Carnival tourists who want to experience the pre-Carnival festivities, but if you miss Mardi Gras, there are some ways to experience the region’s Mardi Gras-themed festivities. One option during the Mardi Gras season is to visit RedFrog Tiki Bar, which serves up authentic Tiki cocktails and tasty, New Orleans-style dishes like red beans and rice.
New Orleans’s Carnival season gets underway on Fat Tuesday, the last day of the year, with a Mardi Gras parade that features floats, costumes, and music. Carnival season also features the parades of many of the city’s other neighborhoods, but the most famous is the Krewe of Royalty, which features floats that are covered in hundreds of thousands of dollars in jewels. The parade is held annually in the months before Mardi Gras, but is a few weeks later and not so well attended.
If you’ve ever cruised with Carnival Cruise Line, you’re probably acquainted with the RedFrog Rum Bar on the lido deck.
The RedFrog Rum Bar aboard the line’s newest ship, the Mardi Gras, has been redesigned and extended to form the two-story Tiki Bar RedFrog, which is located poolside on the lido deck.
