Happy Mardi Gras Day 2026 Folks!

Hey Folks! Happy Mardi Gras 2026! This is the last day of the Carnival Season, so enjoy it while you can!

A big part of the parades are the amazing floats which change in theme each year. The krewes put a ton of work into these all year and its fun to see the different themes. Some may be political, satirical, current events and of course just fun!

Here's a live stream of the parades of 2026: https://www.wdsu.com/article/new-orleans-mardi-gras-parades-live-stream-2026/70383226
