You’ll receive your Crawl Cup at the start of your tour and enjoy exclusive discounts at each stop on your Bourbon Street Bar Crawl, plus access to special deals at 10-12 handpicked bars and restaurants across the French Quarter.
Keep your Crawl Cup with you throughout your New Orleans adventure. Show it at any participating venue to access these exclusive offers at any time, enhancing your stay with a taste of local flavors and hospitality. After booking your tour, you’ll receive an email with a link to all the participating venues and the delicious drinks they offer, making sure you don’t miss a single sip of the city’s spirited nightlife.
Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a full season, not a single night. This crawl drops you into the middle of it with hosted nights, packed venues, and a crowd that feels like one big rolling party from the moment you check in.
Every crawl features a curated lineup of French Quarter spots, free shots, drink specials, beads, games, and a party host team that keeps the energy high from start to finish.
We run two prime start times built around how Mardi Gras really flows:
5 pm Crawls
Kick off before the biggest crowds hit and roll straight into peak evening hours on Bourbon and throughout the French Quarter.
8 pm Crawls
Start later and step right into the late night Mardi Gras energy with full venues, loud music, and wall-to-wall party vibes.
Both departures include multiple venues, express entry, welcome shots, drink specials, and our signature Mardi Gras party experience.
