Come see firsthand what it takes to bring Mardi Gras to life year after year. Walk through the hard work and extensive planning that goes into this grand event when you tour Blaine Kern Studios, an operating workshop that has created breathtaking floats for Mardi Gras and other parades around the world since 1947. On the tour, you’ll be paired up with a knowledgeable guide who takes the mask off of Mardi Gras. This all-access opportunity winds you through the massive studio, where artists and architects build Mardi Gras floats from the ground up.
The whole family will love touring the space where our artisans create show-stopping floats for more than 40 parades each year -- and bring your appetite too: every tour comes with a slice of King Cake (which is a real delicacy, as it’s hard to find out of season!).
