Fat Tuesday marks the end of Carnival and the city effectivly shuts down for the day. Parades will roll, streets will be blocked to traffic, pedestrians in various levels of intoxication will abound and all will need to be considered and discussed with your vendors as you plan the wedding.

It is also important to remember that Mardi Gras falls 47 days before Easter Sunday, meaning it can occur between February 3rd and March 9th. The folks at MardiGras.org provide a handy calculator for planning ahead.

More information including parade routes can be found at mardigras.com.
