Surviving Mardi Gras 2026 in New Orleans | An inside look...

We had a time down at the Mardi Gras 2026 in New Orleans! I enjoy Mardi Gras because the joy in our community and shared pride in our culture are on full display! From catching unique throws and mardi gras beads, to dancing to the sounds of marching bands, to celebrating with family and friends, Mardi Gras is truly one of the highlights of my year. In this vlog, we go shopping for a Mardi Gras outfit, to Zulu Ball for the first time (I have thoughts), to back-to-back parades (NOMTOC, Endymion, and Orpheus), and turn up for the Zulu parade on Mardi Gras day! If you're looking for a sign to book your trip for Mardi Gras next year, this is it!
