Ok here's my 2 cents. I grew up in NOLA and have experienced both even wearing a hand made costume at the one in Eunice including the mask. Been to the Mamou street dance. The Balfa bros song is a great Mardi Gras song. The tradition and the reason why chickens were caught is special. Eating hot boudin at the middle of the parade is awesome. Towards the end watching drunk guys passed out on horses not so much. The people are great. Lots of laughing while chasing chickens.
Going to watch Endymion in Midcity and Bacchus on St Charles is special. Seeing the bands, creative floats, celebrities, and going to the balls is second to none. My preference in Mardi Gras in Nola, but both Mardi Gras are special in there own way.

Eunice has an awesome one too. Wayne Toups and Spank the Monkey (lol) were here last night.
That's the REAL Mardi Gras song posted above.
It will go on till Tuesday downtown and concludes with the run Tuesday downtown. Its definitely an experience.
I'm a transplant from BR and I love the culture here. It's a special little area. You also can't beat T-Boys or Slaughterhouse boudin state wide IMO.
