Slidell Mardi Gras Museum - Part of the 100+ things to do


B&B's are a better way to stay, so while visiting Southeastern Louisiana, stay at Woodridge Bed and Breakfast - play hard, sleep well! Debbi & Tim Keepers of the Inn and Concierge to your perfect getaway!




A new spotlight just opened in Slidell, Louisiana.  Yes, Slidell does host Mardi Gras parades and they are family friendly too, but since we are not known for our events, most of those lining our streets for the parades are locals.  This provides visitors a real unique view of what Mardi Gras really means.

But now visitors and locals alike can capture the spirit and take in the beautiful details of what our Krewes (aka clubs) spend much of the year doing.  Slidell has just opened their own Mardi Gras Museum which is filled with costumes, throws, pictures and other memorabilia.
