The lead-up to New Orleans’ annual Mardi Gras celebration is intensifying with events big and small
NEW ORLEANS — — A venerable fine-dining fixture on Bourbon Street helped kick off the final frantic days of New Orleans Mardi Gras season Friday — relaxing its jackets-required dress code and briefly ditching its no-pets policy for a pair of crown- and cape-wearing rescue dogs.
“The impact this has on other homeless dogs, it just goes on and on,” Billie Jean's owner, Katherine Gelderman. “If you think about the complex logistics, over multiple neighborhoods, multiple krewes, multiple law enforcement agencies — this is like Times Square on New Year's Eve for two weeks,” Kelly Schulz of New Orleans & Company, the city tourism industry's trade association, said during a city news conference Thursday.and a shortage of police officers, which somewhat muted the celebration's comeback last year.
“We are seeing strong hotel bookings so far,” Schulz said. “We are seeing a lot of pent-up demand for travelers to come back to New Orleans. For many this will be their first time, since before COVID, experiencing Mardi Gras.”
