FAMILY GRAS - CHECK IT OUT

Family Gras is the perfect weekend getaway for family.  Once again Family Gras will take place on the neutral ground of Veterans Memorial Boulevard across from Lakeside Shopping Center in Metairie, Lousiana.  The ideal location to see the pageantry of Mardi Gras and enjoy Live Music from National Artists and Louisiana's Own.   

Food Vendors will once again 'cook up' a good time with such favorites as pasta, po-boys, and jambalaya!  Local Hotels feature special packages for your family's comfort.  We have accommodations to suit everyone's budget. 

And, don't forget, Jefferson Parish is a great place for shopping and sightseeing!  Shop Lakeside Mall, Clearview Mall, and neighborhood Specialty Shops & Boutiques; visit our Museums and Parks.  Jefferson, so close...yet a world away!
