Questions about Mardi Gras

[No11's Mom]

Mardi Gras Questions:

Does anyone know what entertainment is scheduled for Mardi Gras this year?
I would love for my family to be able to ride on the floats one night. How do you go about getting chosen to be a rider?
Can someone explain how Mardi Gras works - are the attractions still operating during the parades? How long does the parade last? And besides the parade, what else is happening at that time?

Thanks for the help!

Mardi Gras runs from February 8 to around March 22. As for float riders, I think you have to get into the standby line, but I haven't heard about how it will work this year.
