There are three Super Sunday Mardi Gras celebrations that happen each year. Mardi Gras Indians from all parts of New Orleans come together for a procession that displays their unity and amazing artistry. At the end of the procession, there is a big festival with music, food, children's activities, and more.

Uptown Super Sunday is the first of these celebrations. It will happen on Sunday, March 18 centered around A.L. Davis Park (Washington Ave. and LaSalle St.). It begins at 11a, where Indian tribes will face off to find out whose suit is the prettiest. Around 1p, a second line procession will leave the park, heading north on LaSalle St.
