CUSTOM KREWE-COLOR PROGRAMMING
Our color-changing lighting systems can be programmed to your exact Carnival palette, traditional purple, green, and gold, or custom colors for your krewe, tailgate, or parade-watching party. Using high-quality, commercial-grade lighting, we design displays that hold up through the season’s wind, rain, and crowds.
Our team handles every detail, including custom design, professional installation, on-site maintenance throughout the season, and complete removal once the season ends, so your display looks its best from the first bead toss to Ash Wednesday.
BUILT FOR PARADE SEASON
If your home or business sits along a parade route or hosts a Carnival gathering, we design lighting that’s visible and vibrant after dark, illuminating balconies, porches, rooflines, and landscaping so your property stands out to the crowd.
We work with homeowners, restaurants, bars, and businesses throughout the parade season across the Northshore, Greater New Orleans, and the Gulf Coast, timing installation around your krewe’s parade schedule so your display is ready when the floats roll.
Whether you need lighting for one big weekend or the entire six-week season, we make Mardi Gras lighting simple: no ladders, no timers to manage, and no need to store equipment once the parades are over.
When should I book my Mardi Gras lighting installation?
We recommend booking as early as possible, ideally by late December or early January, since our schedule fills quickly once Carnival season begins. Early booking guarantees your preferred installation date before the parades start rolling.
Can I customize my colors beyond purple, green, and gold?
Yes. While purple, green, and gold are the classic Mardi Gras palette, we can program custom colors to match your krewe, favorite team, or personal style.
Do you install lighting for businesses along parade routes?
Yes. We work with restaurants, bars, and businesses throughout the parade season, timing installation so your display is ready before the crowds arrive.
When do you remove the lights after Mardi Gras?
We remove and store your Mardi Gras lighting shortly after Fat Tuesday, so your property is back to normal well before Ash Wednesday obligations and spring cleanup.
What's the difference between Mardi Gras lighting and permanent lighting?
Seasonal Mardi Gras lighting is installed and removed each Carnival season. Permanent lighting is a year-round, app-controlled LED system that can switch between everyday landscape lighting and Mardi Gras purple, green, and gold with a tap, no seasonal install or removal needed.
Do you offer maintenance during the season?
Yes. If a bulb or section goes out during Carnival season, our team repairs it quickly at no additional cost, so your display looks its best through the final parade.
