I went last year and had fun. They had some pretty good local Cajun and Blues bands there and I got to try my first Beignet (pronounced Ben-yea) and it was good. This also was my first Mardi Gras parade which I thought was outstanding. I can only imagine what the ones in New Orleans are like. I'm told that they change some of the floats every year.
