With Mardi Gras gearing up around the city, you may be down for a more tamer celebration of New Orleans. It’s called Family Gras and we’re going to tell you all about it.
Like its name implies, Family Gras is a celebration that mimicks the wilder Mardi Gras, but it’s more age-appropriate for children.
Family Gras celebrations typically take place the weekend before Mardi Gras, and that’s the case this year.
Family Gras is the weekend of February 18-20, 2022 around New Orleans. The family tradition stretches back several years as a way to give the kids something to do while the grown-ups party up.
This year the big Family Gras celebration is back in Metarie. Here are the details.
Metairie: Friday through Sunday, come out to Metairie’s Family Gras celebration, which takes place at Mardi Gras Plaza on the 3300 block of Veterans Memorial Boulevard.
Come watch to Elite Redfish Series Mardi Gras Cup weigh-ins at the Berkley Fishing Experience Tanks at 4pm, followed by the New Orleans Artists’ Tribute to Allen Toussaint at 5pm, the legendary Marie Osmond at 6pm, & the Krewes of Excalibur and Symphony parades closing out the night. Learn more.
Family Gras is a great event to spend some time with your family. Come out for the live music, crowds and big fun. Looking for more to do in New Orleans? We’ve got you.
