Join us here with shows at 5:30, and 9 and 11pm for a very special night of New Orleans culture as Colin Davis & Night People lead us in a chant of "Who Dat" and turn our Key West intersection of Southard and Whitehead into the intersection of NOLA Funk and Soul!

The Parrot as always is chock full of rich culture and vibrant costumes, so while costumes of any color combination are a part of any festive Mardi Gras party, purple, green and gold are the traditional Mardi Gras colors so we invite you to dress up accordingly as you come and help us stir the Gumbo at our New Orleans' "Who Dat" Party!
