Mardi Gras is right here. It is the best time for people to enjoy the finest food and drinks, colors and copious amount of fun and flamboyance. If you are planning to attend the parades or melt into the crowd in sheer indulgence, this survival guide will help. Mardi Gras is much more than a holiday; it’s a contagious energy and a perfect time to enjoy life to its fullest.
Marketers can make their brand part of the Mardi Gras fun by handing out appropriate custom giveaways. Besides they can share ideas with their clients and employees who may be planning to attend the parades.
These tips will help you get started.
Find the parade routes
The best way to do that would be to download the parade tracker app to find the parades near you so that you don’t miss out the fun . The rolling floats are indeed a visual delight.
Choosing the right accommodation
It is recommended to choose an accommodation that is not too close to the route as you might find it difficult to get in or out of your hotel! If you are too far you will be paying more for taxis to get around. So, choose an accommodation facility that is away from the parade route yet close enough to the city.
As Mardi Gras is a long season that starts from January 6th and lasts until the start of Lent, you can plan your trip to see the parades that interest you.
Pack light
Pack light to make travelling easier. From bright colored dresses and head wraps to layers to keep you warm. You can choose from some of the most essential items for your travel bag like sunscreen and sunglasses. The basic idea is to stand out in the crowd and grab a few eyeballs while staying comfortable. Did we say that Mardi gras is a perfect opportunity to get outlandish costumes like wigs, light up headbands and fake eyelashes among many others? Don’t be shy to experiment!
Stay Hydrated
For an event like Mardi Gras that involves days of heavy drinking, it is extremely important to stay hydrated. Keep sipping on water so that you can avoid the risk of passing out during the chaos of a Mardi Gras parade. Marketers can hand out custom water bottles and tumblers for their employees who may be attending the parades.
Pack Snacks
Handing out giveaways like custom fanny packs will also help your recipients to pack snacks that will help them get through the shenanigans of the day and non stop partying experience. Your brand on these high utility items will indeed get a lot of eyes.
Mardi Gras is a food holiday as well
Mardi Gras is well known for a lot of interesting food items including king cake, which pairs well with both coffee and champagne. The parade neighbors will have the grill going, so you can share a meal with your new friends. New Orleans is home to a lot of interesting eateries to savor platters of wonderful food. So the gourmets have a lot to cheer about.
This survival guide will help the party revelers for sure; no matter whether they plan to run rampant through the streets of downtown or indulge in non stop partying! Need more ideas? Our friendly team is only a call away.
