Next week is the big day! There's still time to book your flights and have a ball.
While Mardi Gras is just the one day the season, also called Carnival, starts Jan 6, just after the Twelfth Night of Christmas. The day of Mardi Gras can occur as early as Feb 3th or as late as March 9th, given it’s tied to Easter, and that’s tied to the moon… it’s complicated.
You can Google all that, but what don’t you know that the locals know?

What you see on TV is the worst of the worst. Parade routes are quite long, starting way out in Uptown, and roll miles to get to Canal Street. In that process it begins very family friendly (think of it as the “G” rated version).
Mardi Gras fact #2: That said, not all the parades are like “Girls Gone Wild”.
In fact, float patrons cater to kids, making sure they receive and abundance of attention, goodies, and throws. Parents love it because it’s hours of free entertainment. Many families will “camp out” on St. Charles for the weekend, set up barbecues, and plan activities with families around them. It’s not until the parade reaches the Central Business District (the CBD) that attitudes and morales erode a bit (”PG”), then go to hell around Canal Street (”R”).


The bottom line:
Don’t think you can’t go because you have kids; bring ‘em along!
Don’t think you have to wait until the day; parades happen weeks in advance.
And be sure to try some King Cakes; I hope you get the baby.
