Family Gras is a FREE two-day festival (for the year 2023) of outdoor concerts featuring local and national acts, local cuisine, an art market, a kids zone, outdoor concerts by both national artists and Louisiana favorites, and the pageantry of the Mardi Gras parades! Family Gras takes place two weekends before Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras Day), and is located just ten minutes from downtown New Orleans in the suburb of Metairie.
Of course, a big part of Family Gras are the fabulous parades rolling after the performances including the Krewe of Excalibur, the Krewe of Symphony, and the Magical Krewe of MadHatters.
Family Gras offers a huge variety so the entire family can enjoy!
