Mardi Gras World Opening Celebration Party

You'll start your evening with a walk through the incredible Mardi Gras Float Den to see where the magic is made. The Float Den houses the real authentic Mardi Gras floats and larger-than-life props used in parades! Afterwards, you'll enjoy a delicious buffet dinner and cash bar while wandering through the intimate Grand Oaks Mansion. You won’t believe your eyes at the Grand Oaks Mansion! The awe-inspiring, indoor replica of an antebellum mansion will make you believe you’ve stepped back in time. Towering columns, magical footbridges, magnificent oak trees and a starlit sky all add to the sense of wonder. Let yourself get swept away to a hot Southern night — except it never rains at the Grand Oaks Mansion since everything is indoors! The Grand Oaks Mansion gives you a vintage Louisiana experience, right in the heart of downtown New Orleans. Transportation to and from the event is included. Space is limited, so register early!
