We love Mardi Gras. Accessory World sells truck and motorcycle accessories. Local residents also spend money to decorate their houses. People always need gift items for krewes, wreaths, bows and ornaments for Mardi Gras trees. Sales also increase at businesses along parade routes.
Night parades are wonderful.
The quality of the parades around here is wonderful. We believe in Mardi Gras as a huge economic boost. We do a lot of catering, and we even hire extra people during Mardi Gras. You just think of Mardi Gras as lagniappe. With king cakes and parties, Carnival keeps caterers busy.
