Family Gras

Family Gras The official Family Gras of Jefferson Parish, LA page. Share your experiences here, ask us questions

Family Gras is a weekend celebration of carnival, costuming, and concerts. At Family Gras, the majesty of Mardi Gras meets the family-friendly fun of Jefferson Parish in this special event that brings out the kid in crowds of parade lovers. Between the local landmarks of Lakeside Mall and Whole Food Market at the corner of Severn and Veterans, a large opened space landscape is converted to Festiva

l Plaza for the three-day event. Live bands fill the air with rockin’ music, while families enjoy some of the most unique food the world has to offer. And when the music stage goes silent, the crowds will roar with excitement over the carnival in Jefferson Parish as several of Mardi Gras’ most original “krewes” celebrate Louisiana’s “joie de vivre”.

Do you remember Family Gras at Clearview City Center?

With the mall renovations officially kicking off, it seemed like the perfect time for a little throwback.
