Behind The Scenes Of How New Orleans' Mardi Gras Parade Floats Are Made

Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a big event and the 2020 Mardi Gras parade floats will soon fill the streets. They're made by Kern Studios for 50 weeks so they can be used for two weeks to celebrate Fat Tuesday. The company has been in the business for over 80 years and their team of artists work nearly year-round to get the floats in time. We take a tour through Mardi Gras World, their 300,000-square-foot warehouse where its artists and architects build the floats from the ground up.

Been going to this studio since I was a kid. It’s beautiful to see in person and at parades.

Love it 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Ahh I was there during fall break and saw all the floats and recognized them in the video! I even recognized the tour guide who gave us the tour! I don’t know why I’m commenting this but it’s the first time I see something in a video and I’m like “wow! I’ve been there and met the guy who was interviewed”

[@eladiogarth1926]

I've watched carnival in Brazil and Mardi Gras and always wanted an inside look at the floats....this was eye opening

[@crystalsugar4136]

I went and toured the place and it was fun. They had a large king cake for everyone to try before the tour then they explained the whole process. They even have a gift shop.

[@brynnashcroft3734]

Wow, a lot of work

[@ora3910]

You should make a video about Carnaval in Brazil

Who came here because there from Louisiana and wanted to see what it was about?

[@sarahm.4926]

Fact: I live in Mobile, Alabama (mo-beel not mo-byle, if you weren't aware) and we take MG VERY seriously....so seriously in fact that sometimes, if the cable company can't reach the top of telephone poles with the ladders they have on their trucks, they will use MG floats to give themselves an extra lift.

[@anormalID]
