Mardi Gras celebrations are just around the corner for the people of New Orleans. Celebrated on 8 March and often called “the greatest free show on earth” you will be exposed to a world of colour and music. It’s easy to navigate your way around New Orleans when you hire a car with DriveAway Holidays. Car hire also makes escaping to nearby cities easier and a lot less hassle.
The New Orleans Mardi Gras is one of the largest and most well-known Mardi Gras’ in the world. Colourful floats roll down the streets and music can be heard miles away. Participants dress up in brightly coloured fancy costumes throwing beads and coins to the crowd as they pass by. Admire the handmade headdresses of the Mardi Gras Indians which can weigh up to 70 Kilos!
The streets all around the city turn into one big party, drink in some of New Orleans best bars and treat yourself to some of the city’s finest Shrimp Creole and Kingcake, brightly coloured cake eaten over the Mardi Gras period.
DriveAway Holidays can help organise your New Orleans car hire and get you on your way to celebrating Mardi Gras!
