Like Oktoberfest in Munich and St. Patrick’s Day in Dublin, Mardi Gras in New Orleans is one of those things you’ve gotta experience at least once, if only to say you did it and lived to tell the tale. For more than 130 years, the two-weeklong party that is Mardi Gras has been a NOLA tradition, and it’s still going as strong as ever. Whether you’re lucky enough to make a trip to the Big Easy for Mardi Gras or you’re celebrating at home, a good Mardi Gras caption is a must, and if you’re totally stumped, then don’t even worry—we gotchu.

NOLA isn’t just known for its party scene (although, ofc, that’s a big part of the appeal). If you’re down in the Big Easy leading up to Fat Tuesday, then you’ll also wanna see all the sights (Frenchmen Street! French Quarter! City Park!) and eat all the food (Gumbo! Jambalaya! Beignets!) before hitting the bars on Bourbon Street. And if you don’t want to make your caption “Let the good times roll” for every single NOLA pic you post (because yawn), then we’ve got some Mardi Gras sayings, quotes, and puns to give ya some ~caption inspiration~.
