Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World

New Orleans' cultural calendar is inarguably dominated by Mardi Gras, but if you can't make the festival itself then Blaine Kern's Mardi Gras World is the next best thing. This unique attraction invites visitors behind the scenes of the parade's float construction, as Blaine Kern Studios make a majority of the creations.

Blaine Kern Studios has been synonymous with Mardi Gras parade floats since 1947, and they welcome visitors into their workspace to experience the magic of Mardi Gras during the year-long process of preparation.
