Krewe of Sparta and Pygmalion

At the Holiday Inn Express New Orleans - St. Charles, get ready for the best location on the parade route! We are reintroducing Parade Viewing Stands for the world-famous Mardi Gras 2026! Family-friendly, safe, and perfectly placed to catch a barrel of beads, the team here at Holiday Inn Express will be here to make sure it is a memorable Carnival!

We will have Food and Drinks available for purchase directly in the rear of the hotel that can be taken back into the viewing stands for consumption.
Seating is strictly on a first come, first served basis. All tickets purchased are non-refundable and will be required for stand access at any time. Hotel management reserves the right to remove anyone from the premises. Opening times may see variations upon parade delays.

Following the recent direction of Homeland Security, hotel staff members will be searching all bags/ backpacks prior to entry into the stands. Please have your items open and available for search.
