It’s Fat Tuesday!

New Orleans, home to the best-known Fat Tuesday festivities in the US, is poised to see at least 1 million visitors and up to $1B in revenue as it brings back its full slate of events after canceling them in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and shortening routes for all parades in 2022. The city’s iconic krewes – Mardi Gras-focused social clubs – have returned to the streets and will culminate with parades by the Krewes of Rex and Zulu today, among others.
