MARDI GRAS INFO

Mardi Gras season starts on January 6th and goes til Mardi Gras day, which for 2025 is March 4th! This means there are parades happening throughout the weeks of January, February, and the first weekend of March. 

Lucky Dagger is located on St Charles Ave, on a main parade route. Parking on St Charles is off limits during and 3 hours before parades. Parking on the side streets is still allowed but can be hard to find while parades are happening. During parades and the hours before, you cannot cross St Charles by car, but you may be able to by bike/foot if there is space between floats.

You can see the parade schedule here.

All of the *Uptown Parades* go down St Charles and in front of the shop. 

If you have an appointment that goes into the hours of a parade, plan to leave the area by bike or foot, or park on the side of St Charles that you’ll need to leave on. For example, if you live above St Charles, park your car on that side so that you don’t need to cross over during the parade when you leave.
