New Orleans' historic streetcars are more than just a convenient way to get around—they're an iconic attraction in their own right. Six vintage streetcars (NOT trolleys), dating back to the 1920s, currently operate across three lines, and they hold a special place in the hearts of both locals and visitors.

Mardi Gras and Carnival have long been the marquee events in New Orleans, with the first recorded parade taking place in 1837. Attracting hundreds of thousands of people each year, these festivities trace their origins to French traditions—Mardi Gras translates to "Fat Tuesday" in French. Carnival officially kicks off on January 6th (Epiphany) and unfolds over several weeks, beginning with elaborate, invitation-only balls hosted by krewes (private clubs), where debutantes are introduced to society. The excitement builds in the final weeks, leading up to Mardi Gras, with the famous street parades filling the city with colorful costumes, floats, and lots of music.
