Mardi Gras & Events — HoHo Etiquette and Crowd Tips

Event behavior & etiquette

• Parades & closures: During Mardi Gras and other major events, expect route changes, stop suspensions, and reduced frequency — always check operator alerts in advance.
• Respectful conduct: Do not block parade routes or private balconies. Ask permission before photographing people and private property.
• Crowd safety: Leave extra travel time and be prepared for detours when planning HoHo segments during big events.

Quick tips

• Tip performers, guides, and venue staff when you appreciate a service.
• Keep a small, portable light or reflective gear if you'll be out late in crowded festival zones.
• Consider alternate transit options if you need a guaranteed return time during major closures.
