About Mardi Gras Beads & Parades

A plain-spoken guide to Mardi Gras culture: parade customs, throw traditions and how to enjoy the season.

This site is published by Mardi Gras Beads Factory, a store that sells Mardi Gras beads and throws by the case. We wrote these articles from what we see every season at our counters.

We do not ship. You order online, and you pick up your order at our store in Bridge City or in Houma, Louisiana.
