Mardi Gras 2020
Mardi Gras 2020 is on the 25th Feburary, with the main celebrations happening in the two weeks leading up to the date itself. The largest celebrations usually happens on the two weekends before Mardi Gras itself, which always falls on a Tuesday.
The biggest parades in New Orleans happen on Mardi Gras day, which is the Tuesday before Lent begins, 47 days before Easter. This date can fall anywhere from the 3rd February through to 10th March.
If you are planning on visiting New Orleans specifically for Mardi Gras, we’d suggest coming for the six days leading up to Mardi Gras to give yourself plenty of time for sight-seeing as well as parade watching.
