Mardi Gras partiers; Do you dread waiting an entire year for the next Mardi Gras? Ladies, did you enjoy flashing the guys and posing topless for pictures with them? If you answered Yes, then there is a boat party in northern Wisconsin where you can party like at Mardi Gras. It's known as the annual Pine Pointe Pontoon Poker run. It takes place the first Saturday of every August on Lake Alice, some 25 miles southwest of Rhinelander, WI. Long story short, it's a fun event that Mardi Gras partiers will enjoy. A few things to keep in mind, it's a small event, unlike Mardi Gras in New Orleans, so there is only enough room for maybe 900 people or so. All bead throwing needs to be kept on land and off the lake; beads don't float on water and will sink to the bottom of the lake if they land in the water resulting in underwater pollution. Also, Wisconsinians generally don't like Illinoisans because Illinoisans in general are toxic, anti-social, closed-clique, and very inauthentic people that don't get along with other people and they don't communicate with anyone outside their cliques unless it's strictly business-related, and Wisconsinians don't like those kinds of personalities.

We will be on a celebrity cruise docked early in March for Mardi Gras and were wondering did you watch parades from any particular spot?

We are going on a cruise in February 2018 and will be stopping in New Orleans during Mardi Gra. How far is the docks from the action. We will be there for 2 days. We do not know where to go or what to do for those 2 days. We will be staying overnight on the ship. We are seniors and love Jazz music. Could you please let me know of some fun things to do and what to expect. What sort of clothes should we ware? Can we make reservations at some of the lounges in advance for cocktails etc.

Will there be celebrations the weekend before Mardi Gras, on February 3rd and 4th? With the loud music, people, and bead throwing in the streets of the french quarter and bourbon street? Since the weekend of the big celebration will be too busy to book a hotel im looking to go before but still down to have a fun time!
