About Family Gras
Family Gras is a free Carnival celebration full of family fun, just 10 minutes outside of the Big Easy. The festival full of music, costumes and free concerts will take place February 6 and 7 at Mardi Gras Plaza in Metairie.
Family Gras is fun for everyone, giving families a space to enjoy national and local music acts as Mardi Gras parades roll past the festival, including the Krewe of Excalibur and the Magical Krewe of Mad Hatters.
The festival will feature a food court full of authentic New Orleans cuisine to enjoy such as gumbo and jambalaya, and you can find unique local art at the fest's art market. There will also be a kids' court with face painting, interactive games, and more to ensure that this event is fun for the whole family. This free outdoor festival will be filled with the Carnival spirit!
