Don\u2019t worry! If you\u2019re going to be in New Orleans outside of Fat Tuesday, you can still get a glimpse of the incredible experience at Mardi Gras World. Just a short trolley ride from the Garden District, it\u2019s where parade floats are stored, repaired, and brand new ones are created. Here, you might find an artist making spectacular masterpieces out of those traditional beads, and you can even get a slice of King Cake from the caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Take a guided tour, or peruse the massive warehouses yourself. Nobody else gets a chance for such an up close and personal inspection (and photos!) with the most beloved of floats. Not every float is a crowd pleaser, but some become staples. See them up close, discover the intricacies that you miss during Fat Tuesday, and get a sneak peek at what might be heading down the parade route in 2016.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/stcharlesinn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2015\/11\/mardi-gras.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-633\" src=\"http:\/\/stcharlesinn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2015\/11\/mardi-gras-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"mardi gras\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsuitesites3.com\/stcharlesinn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/11\/mardi-gras-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsuitesites3.com\/stcharlesinn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/11\/mardi-gras-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsuitesites3.com\/stcharlesinn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2015\/11\/mardi-gras.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>A World of Fun<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During a guided tour, you\u2019ll find out just how much work is involved in putting on the biggest party in the country.
