Concerts. Cocktails. Unforgettable crowds.
Invitation-only Mardi Gras balls hosted by the Krewes themselves. With Mardi Gras Made EZ, you don’t just get in — you walk in like a VIP.
Enjoy a front-row view of the parade, then roll straight into a concert featuring some of the biggest names in music. Past performers include Maroon 5, Carrie Underwood, Kid Rock and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
It all happens inside legendary venues like the Superdome and the New Orleans Morial Convention Center.
“From the start at the balcony party, the Extravaganza, to Orpheuscapade all were such a wonderful time!”
