 Mardi Gras is a great time for children
and families to visit the Crescent
City and enjoy a marvelous time together! There are lots of
Carnival
activities around the city to keep kids and adults well-entertained;
the
trick is finding them. Though Jefferson Parish has laid claim to
the
title of capital of family-friendly Carnival, Orleans, St. Bernard, and
the surrounding parishes also offer great memories the entire family
can enjoy, from the youngest to the oldest! Your humble Professor
is
happy to supply you
with these listing of events that have earned the Prof. Carl Nivale
Family-Friendly
Seal of Approval.
|
 In
the coming months, we will be posting family events as they are
scheduled. If you have a Carnival-related event that happens at
any time during the year, please e-mail
the Professor Here to have your event listed with us.
