Remember that Mardi Gras Day is that LAST day of the celebration. After that the next day is Ash Wednesday, time to go to church after all the the wildness of the Carnival Season.
Check out the Mardi Gras Parade Schedule, looks like they're starting on Wednesday, February 7. So get there if you can, there's nothing else like it!
