Parking during Mardi Gras is my worst nightmare. I can't describe to you how much I hate it. Now I just park somewhere relatively close by but easy to park and take an Uber the shorter distance close to where I want to be. Trying to park within a mile of a parade route will make you want to take your own life.

Meh. Even if I didn't have my aunt's house around Napoleon and Magazine to park at, parking isn't bad after you've done it a few times.

It will be an absolute nightmare for a firs timer though, so your advice is pretty good.

If you plan correctly and go early, it's not always horrible.
Last night I fcked up and came in from Baton Rouge from work and tried to head uptown at around 5:30. After a while when I was stuck in traffic still on Carrolton, I just turned around and left.
I have to think the weeknight parades are the worst with traffic and parking.

Especially if the group you are trying to meet are on the other side of the parade. Had that happen a few times during parades and it’s the worst. Either get ballsy and jump the barrier or walk around
