Mardi Gras at The Celestine
Carnival, celebrated the New Orleans way.
All season long — from the first king cake to the last parade rolling through the French Quarter — The Celestine is your Mardi Gras home base. It’s where parade-goers, revelers, and glitter-covered wanderers land for style, ease, and a little insider magic. And when Deep Gras arrives, those final two glorious weeks, we turn things up with special programming, local collaborations, and festive moments you won’t find anywhere else.
Carnival Cocktail Classes
Join our bar team for a hands-on cocktail session featuring historic Mardi Gras classics — including the Ojen Frappé, the official cocktail of the Krewe of Rex.
Custom Celestine Beads
Our signature beads make their Mardi Gras debut this year, inspired by the beloved Chloe beads and designed exclusively for Deep Gras guests. A celebratory keepsake — or something to throw with flair on the parade route.urce
Headdress Workshop
Get parade-ready with a creative workshop led by local artist Ellen Macomber. Feathers, sequins, and plenty of sparkle — everything you need to craft a one-of-a-kind Mardi Gras headdress. Tickets on sale soon.
Free Breakfast + Coffee
Fuel up before the crowds arrive. Enjoy complimentary breakfast and hot coffee each parade morning, included for all hotel guests during Deep Gras.
Weekend Bubbles
Pop into the day with complimentary bubbles on Saturdays and Sundays, served exclusively during the final two weeks of Carnival.
*These experiences are offered exclusively during Deep Gras, the final two weeks of Mardi Gras.
Brass Band Concerts
We’ll host one live brass band performance each weekend during Deep Gras — a joyful, unmistakably New Orleans soundtrack to your Carnival stay. Schedule coming soon.
