Cat Carnivale 2024

A 12 Day Mardi Gras Festival for Anipals and their Humans: a celebration of Friendships and Things Fantastic!

Travel the world celebrating Mardi Gras in a variety of ways: from the French Riviera to the islands of the Caribbean you will experience parades, floats, parties, bars, masquerade balls, walking tours, restaurants and more!

Stay with us at the Xanawu Plantation and be treated to the finest southern hospitality around!

Our accommodations have been so popular that we opened up guest rooms aboard the Calico Queen riverboat! These well appointed rooms are located conveniently near the Xanawu Vieux Carre and all the local action, but are going fast: book yours today!

This PSA from the Xanawu Board of Tourism will tell you more!
