Need a
permit for this year's Carnival season? January 10, 2022, is your chance to
obtain one!
The Department
of Finance, Bureau of Revenue will be hosting this year's Mardi Gras Permit Lottery in the lobby of the Civil District Court. This will mark the start of pre-pandemic life since
COVID-19 restrictions flipped life in the Big Easy upside down.
Those
wishing to participate must register at the Bureau of Revenue with a lottery
registration card and a $1,000 sales tax deposit in hand. Registration
materials must be delivered to the office by Friday, January 21, either in
person or via mail--no exceptions.
The lottery
will take place on Thursday, February 3 at 1:30 p.m., and the winners will
attend the Fixed Location Selection Process on Saturday, February 5 at 9 a.m.,
where they'll be assigned a location based on their placement in the lottery. A
valid photo ID will be required to attend.
For those
interested in selling toys, food, and trinkets, a Walker Permit can obtained from the Revenue
Office on Wednesday, February 16. Be sure to check out nola.gov/onestop/events for more information about permits
and their guidelines.
