Mardi Gras dates back to the early 18th century when French explorers brought the tradition to the region. It evolved over time, with the first recorded Mardi Gras parade occurring in 1837. The celebration has since become a cornerstone of New Orleans’ identity, symbolising resilience, cultural pride, and community spirit, and now is your chance to join in this incredible celebration.
Depart the UK on your chosen scheduled flight to New Orleans. Upon arrival, you’ll independently transfer to the Saint Hotel, your Mardi Gras base for the next five nights.
You have four additional nights to immerse yourself in the vibrant Mardi Gras celebrations and experience the dynamic energy of New Orleans. The city offers a wealth of activities, ensuring there is always something captivating to explore. From attending dazzling parades and live music performances to wandering through historic neighbourhoods like the French Quarter, the possibilities are limitless. Indulge in the local culinary scene, savouring iconic Mardi Gras treats such as King Cake—a sweet, colourful pastry adorned in purple, green, and gold.
On Fat Tuesday, the final day of the Carnival season, celebrations reach their peak with vibrant parades, parties, and a spirit of indulgence before the beginning of Lent. Participants often wear colourful costumes and masks, embodying the festive atmosphere. Music, dancing, and street performances abound, particularly in the French Quarter and along parade routes.
Depending on your flight time, you may have time for some last-minute sightseeing or some all-important souvenir shopping before returning to New Orleans Airport and checking in for your flight back to the UK.
