The annual three-day event included Louisiana Alive! on Thursday night, which is a mixer event showcasing Louisiana foods from all over the state and live music from various bands in Louisiana. Friday night is a seated dinner where the Mardi Gras princesses and festival queens are presented. Saturday night is the grand Mardi Gras Ball Gala, where the king is presented to the crowd of more than 3,000 after the royalty presentation with floats and marching bands that parade through the ballroom.
If you want to run for office in Louisiana, Washington Mardi Gras is the perfect opportunity to be seen and heard – shaking that money tree to hosting fundraising events. Many deals are discussed and signed on the dotted line so to speak. Mixing business and pleasure is a way of life for Louisianians – socializing across party lines can lead to getting things done, policy wise.
