If I arrive in a feathered cape and scepter, will I be given my own throne?
We can’t officially guarantee a throne, but you’ll definitely be treated like a king or queen!
Is it true that calories don’t count during Mardi Gras?
Absolutely! During Mardi Gras, all beignets, king cake, and gumbo are officially classified as festival fuel, which means they magically contain zero calories.
How much purple, green, and gold is too much? Asking for a very enthusiastic friend.
The official limit is… more than everyone else. If people aren’t shielding their eyes from the sparkle, you’re not there yet. Pile it on—when it comes to Mardi Gras, more is always more!
If I start speaking in a Cajun accent, do I have to commit to it all night?
100%! Once you “Laissez les bons temps rouler” (let the good times roll), there’s no turning back. Bonus points if you convince at least one person you’re actually from Louisiana!
How do I properly second line without looking like I just learned what second lining is?
The trick is confidence! Grab a napkin, handkerchief, or anything that waves in the air, move with the rhythm, and remember: the more enthusiasm, the better!
