Get an Insider’s View of Mardi Gras at the #NAFOA2025 Closing Reception



After two full days of sessions packed with informative and helpful content at NAFOA’s 43rd Annual Conference, let the good times roll at the closing reception at Mardi Gras World on Tuesday, April 29. Enjoy an evening of networking, delicious local food, and take a photo or two with a Mardi Gras float. Our reception starts in the heart of the magic – the Float Den, where you can get a behind-the-scenes look at how the world-famous Mardi Gras floats are made. This massive working warehouse is where artists, sculptors, and painters bring the vibrant and elaborate parade floats to life.  
Shuttle buses will be provided between the New Orleans Marriott and Mardi Gras World. The event is included with your conference registration, but pre-registration is required.
