As an event coordinator for a Mardi Gras organization, you’ll typically be responsible for planning parade routes, liaising with local authorities, coordinating with float designers and krewe members, managing event logistics, and overseeing safety protocols. You’ll also collaborate closely with marketing teams, sponsors, and volunteers to ensure the event runs smoothly.
