Riverwalk Lundi Gras

Live music from some of New Orleans’ favorite Grammy Nominated bands, local food and drink vendors, and a captivating firework display on the Mississippi culminate with the arrival of Rex, King of Carnival. Upon arrival, Rex greets thousands of visitors who have traditionally gathered along the river to watch the processions, while welcoming the King of Zulu.

Mayor LaToya Cantrell will take the stage to hand over the keys to city to Rex, who declares Fat Tuesday a day of fun and revelry for all. The ceremony is then followed by an extravagant firework display over the River, prior to Monday night parades rolling through downtown New Orleans.

The Riverwalk Lundi Gras fest line up includes Grammy-Nominated Dwayne Dopsie & the Zydeco Hellraisers, GoGo Brass Funk Band Brass-A-Holics, and Funk Rock Band Flow Tribe.
