Oh…it’s Carnival time! Mardi Gras is back with a bang. Enjoy this Mardi Gras Manual filled with parade maps, Carnival culture, and even Valentine’s stories.
All hail Rex! Longtime contributor and renowned float builder Rene Pierre shares the history of 150 years of the King of Carnival, as well as chatting with Rex historian Stephen Hales.
If you’re wondering where to eat near the parade route, don’t miss Marigny Lanaux’s rundown. And if Mardi Gras isn’t your bag, Jeff Boudreaux gives some ideas on where to escape to. Want to decorate your home for Carnival? Then Sabrina Stone’s piece on Mardi Gras craft projects is for you.
We’re also welcoming our new Director of Sales Jim Sylve to the Where Y’at team. Jim is going to make a great addition to the squad, and we’re excited to have him on board.
Stay safe, and don’t drink and drive!
