Each year, a panel of Patio Planters judges canvas the streets of the French Quarter in search of the best holiday decorations.  During Mardi Gras season this will take place the week of February 16-22.

Patio Planters encourages everyone to decorate and contribute to the festive atmosphere of the French Quarter.

This year the final judging will take place February 25.  To enter, or nominate one of your neighbors, send name, address, picture (if possible), to admin@patioplanters.net No later than February 21.

Blue Ribbon Awards will be given to the top 10 displays along with Honorable Mention certificates.

Our annual King Cake Party and Board election will be held on February 5th at the Mardi Gras Museum and the Storyville Museum.  This event is for members only- no guest are allowed.
