Plan your stay for Mardi Gras 2028
- Choose a base for the program you want
- For Mardi Gras 2028, confirm whether the program uses one site or several locations across New Orleans. Choose accommodation around your actual stops, not a presumed single venue.
- Evening transport and street access
- Check the organizer’s entry points, closures and return transport. A centrally located hotel can be convenient, but compare the real route and potential noise around your planned nights.
- Admission and the stay are separate
- Confirm ticketed sessions, reservations, age limits and accessibility with the organizer. A hotel booking does not provide access to the event.
