Riverwalk’s 35th Annual Lundi Gras at Spanish Plaza is a New Orleans tradition, taking place the day before Fat Tuesday.
Join them Monday, February 28 from 12-6:30pm on Spanish Plaza!
This FREE and open to the public event features live music from some of New Orleans’ favorite performers, local food and drink vendors, and a fireworks display on the Mississippi. The event culminates with the arrival of Rex, King of Carnival, and his entourage aboard elegantly decorated vintage railroad cars.
