The Mardi Gras Spot

What a great find! We were able to buy all the necessary and not so necessary items for a real Mardi Gras party. This place is well priced and well stocked! My kids loves all their trinkets and I love the "Go Cups" we used for our Pimms Cup and Purple Drank! I can't wait to go back and buy more items.

Fun spot where you can shop year round! A true (hidden) little gem for the city. The Mardi Gras Spot is not only publicly accessible, but you don't need a membership to shop here! They have everything and anything under this roof. From purses and throws, to bags of beads and plushes, it's a one stop shop.It's really well organized and they even do custom orders! Plenty of parking right in front of the store.

Great place for all kinds of stuff. You never know what you will find here.Great tea , soaps and pet section. Great for last minute costumes

Tucked away in a nondescript Mid-City warehouse is this awesome shop that every local needs, at least once or twice a year. Inexpensive throws, decorations, costumes, wigs, party favors, flags, etc. Not just for Mardi Gras, either. They've got you covered for New Years Eve, St Patricks Day and Saints games, too!Great customer service, too. No need to cross the river or parish line to a chain store ever again.

Love this place for your party events such as a birthday party for either adults or kids or even for throws at a parade if you are planning to ride one. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Price are like wholesale without needing a wholesale license to purchase here.

I have been coming here for years, sometimes weekly. This local family owned business started out for Mardi Gras throws, supplying parade riders with beads and plush throws- but has evolved into one of my favorite shopping experiences.Not only can you find a variety of throws, there are also children's toys and games, kids books, and adorable pajamas and smocked clothing for babies and children in New Orleans themes. There are costuming elements, like Mardi Gras shirts, dresses, coats, wigs, earrings, face glitter, rhinestone decals, and boas. I love their "wig wall" where you can find a variety of affordable wigs in all colors and lengths. if you're a crafter, this place is heaven. There are rhinestone decals, the aforementioned boas, second line umbrellas, and the cheapest fine glitter anywhere in the city available in any color imaginable. Check out my picture to see just how much is available.My only regret about posting this review is that Plush Appeal won't be my little secret anymore!

Okay, this past carnival season I went to a lot of these warehouse stores to see what was available, and Mardi Gras Spot probably is my favorite, hands down, for setting you up for all of your Mardi Gras needs. (And yes, I know, I'm really using the word "needs" loosely there, but let's be real: it's a way of life.)If you're in a Krewe, you can get many of your plush/bulk throws here if you're looking to add on to whatever your Krewe may already have set up (if anything) and they have a discount for you. You can also find purses, cups, coconuts, etc. here (and glitter) to help you with personalized throws.If you are not in a Krewe, well my goodness you can get just about everything you ever wanted to help celebrate the season. Apparel -- shirts, socks, hats, jewelry, body glitter, etc. Decorations for your home, stylized individual beads, go-cups, whatever. I promise you this is a great place to shop, and after comparing many of the different outlets around, MGS has some of the best prices around.

I was impressed today that they still had a lot of Mardi Gras beads in stock by the case. They sell beads by the dozen and specialty beads too.A nice selection of merchandise including glitter purses in many colors, hats and plush.Close to the quarter too.

Ok this place is SO COOL. It's literally the Mardi Gras issue of Oriental Trading, IN PERSON, and somehow better because they have more than just small stuff. All the clothes (adult down to infant), toys, accessories, beads, books, etc that you could ever think you might want for Mardi Gras! And apparently they also do seasonal stuff for each season (so right now they also have a Valentine's Day section and St Patty's day section!) Prices are also pretty cheap compared to online stores and other local businesses!I am so happy to have found out about this place and will be recommending to all my friends and family looking to get festive!!

I just wanted to take a moment to recognize the incredible customer service I received from Mardi Gras Spot. Through no fault of their own, my order was lost by the shipping company. Charlie & Kim went above & beyond to get replacement items sent out for me. I am so thankful for their attention to my order.
