Legends of the Bayou: Dive into the 2025 Mardi Gras Tribute Store 

The Curiosity Shop/Museum

Your adventure begins in a quirky roadside curiosity shop, overflowing with the bizarre and the beautiful. Discover a fascinating collection of local folklore, from spine-chilling stories of the Skeleton Man to tales of giant alligators lurking in the depths. This eclectic mix of souvenirs, oddities, and exaggerated local history sets the stage for the eerie journey ahead.

The Woods and Cabin

Venture deeper into the bayou on a self-guided walking tour through a shadowy, moss-draped forest. As you navigate the winding paths, keep an ear out for the unsettling sounds of the swamp – the croaking of frogs, the rustling of leaves, and perhaps even a ghostly whisper. You'll soon encounter a dilapidated cabin, its interior a chaotic jumble of musical instruments, strange ingredients, and mysterious artifacts. The air is thick with the sweet scent of brewing magic, and the rattling of bones echoes ominously from the distance.

The Bayou/Swamp

Brace yourself for the final leg of your journey – a treacherous trek through the murky waters of the Mississippi. Navigate a maze of elevated swamp shacks, where fishing nets hang limply and the air is thick with the stench of decay. Watch your step as you wade through the brackish water, keeping a wary eye out for the monstrous inhabitants of the swamp. Legend has it that a colossal alligator, larger than any you've ever seen, makes its home in these murky depths. Will you be brave enough to face this legendary beast?

The 2025 Mardi Gras Tribute Store is not for the faint of heart. It's a sensory feast of sights, sounds, and smells, designed to transport you to the heart of the bayou and leave you with a lasting sense of wonder and a little bit of fear.
