Mardi Gras
Girls Trip
February 12th - February 17th, 2021
Join Girls Vacation Club as we party it up in New Orleans during Mardi Gras 2021! Enjoy your long weekend stay, February 12th - 17th, at the luxury Hyatt Centric in the heart of the French Quarter. With optional Bourbon Street balcony rooms you'll be right in the middle of all the French Quarter has to offer. With restaurants, clubs, bars, and shops all within walking distance, this girls trip will be just what the doctor ordered.
Travel to New Orleans on Friday, February 12th and meet your fellow GVC ladies for happy hour before you go out on your own to explore the city. Saturday and Sunday will be filled with guided exploring, and some time to explore on your own, with a welcome dinner at one of New Orleans' classic restaurants on Saturday night. Monday and Tuesday are reserved for Mardi Gras parades, activities, and night life, before you head home Wednesday morning.
Mardi Gras is about music, parades, picnics, floats and excitement. It's one big holiday in New Orleans! Revelers know to wear costumes or at least dress in purple, green, and gold, and adorn themselves with long beads caught from the floats of previous parades. You'll see a lot of crazy costumes, kids with their families are everywhere, and both locals and visitors having a great time. Parade goers will sit on the ground, throw balls, play music, eat great food and watch the crowds walk by between parades. On Mardi Gras day, the majority of non-essential businesses are shut down because of the celebration.
While New Orleans is known for it's southern charm, food, and signature drinks, if you have never visited before we want to be sure you are aware this will not be a classic New Orleans girls trip. While Mardi Gras is a fun, once in a lifetime experience, please know that this girls trip is not designed to relax or for thorough exploring due to the crowds and the volume of available parades and parties**.
