Mardi Gras Day in Metairie - March 3, 2025

Mardi Gras day along the Metairie parade route has a strong family picnic atmosphere as the public eagerly awaits the parade. For many locals, Mardi Gras ranks as the favorite family holiday of the year with early memories of stretching for beads and stooping for doubloons while surrounded by friends and family.  The sights and sounds are indellibly etched into our memories.

 

The arrival of Argus kicks off a day-long procession of parades in Metairie with its procession followed by hundreds of trucks in the Elks Krewe of Jeffersonians and the Krewe of Jefferson truck parades.
