Mardi Gras

 

Beads, Bourbon Street & Blizzard Chic

The French Quarter Returns to Sunshine Street

Purple, gold, green and a little glorious chaos 

Sunshine Street becomes our own French Quarter as we celebrate Mardi Gras in full color. Balconies glow, beads fly, and the winter air carries the echo of brass and laughter. Mardi Gras is about indulgence, music, and that delicious line between elegance and excess. Dress festive, flirtatious, and ready to collect more than just beads.

For one night, Sunshine Street forgets it is wrapped in winter and reinvents itself as a slice of New Orleans. Balconies lean over cobblestone paths. Lanterns glow in purple, gold, and green. Somewhere, a saxophone seems to practice just out of sight.

Mardi Gras has always been a dance between sacred and scandalous, between masks and revelations. In the French Quarter, tradition meets temptation. We bring that spirit to our region, layering it over frosted rooftops and snowy sidewalks. The contrast only makes it sweeter.

Costume ideas? Think corsets with jewel tones, tailored vests, feathered masks that reveal just enough. Long coats lined in satin. Gloves that slide off slowly as the night warms. Maybe you channel a Bourbon Street jazz singer. Maybe a masked rogue tossing beads from a balcony. Maybe you are the one everyone hopes will look their way.

DJ Yezika will spin tracks that flirt with jazz, blues, and party anthems. The Sunshine Pub becomes a carnival hub, where laughter spills out the doors and into the street. Friends pose for photos under wrought iron railings, snowflakes catching in their hair like accidental glitter.

And when the beads have been tossed and the official celebration winds down, Mardi Gras does what it always does. It lingers. The after-party hums in the corners, in quieter conversations, in private balconies above the street. Masks might stay on. Or they might not.
