One of the best places to enjoy authentic Mardi Gras experiences is Louisiana's Cajun Bayou, located just 35 miles south of New Orleans. The people of Lafourche Parish have a special zest for life which they demonstrate through many family-friendly parades up and down bayou Lafourche. Whether you're eating or drinking, catching beads or throwing them, one thing is certain, you'll be greeted to big smiles and friendly waves form the people that call Lafourche Parish home and who are eager to celebrate with you!
