About how many people attend MArdi Gras in New Orleans?
hard to estimate they sometimes do it a day or so after by counting the tons of trash picked up.
if you mean how many ppl go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras day, they estimated the Saints victory parade generated 800,000 ppl. so Mardi Gras is close to that.
if you mean how many ppl go to parades all over the state that would be between 1 an 2 million.

We used to release the tonnage of trash to show how successful mardis gras was. There are no formal figures for attendence of mardis gras, there never has been. The parades uptown were well attended despite the cold weather, so probably between a half million and a million people along just the uptown parade route and inside the Quarter. Add to that all the Metarie and other small-town parades all over south Louisiana participants and you will easily hit over a million people.
