Hilton Krewe of Shoebox Contest
Have you missed all of the festivities that surround Mardi Gras? The Hilton Riverside Krewe has also missed some of the fun, so they decided to create a little Mardi Gras family fun with the Hilton Krewe of Shoebox Contest. The contest is free to enter for U.S. Residents, but the Hilton does ask for a donation to the Louisiana Hospitality Foundation to help support the hospitality community which has been devastated by COVID-19. Plus, there will be a lot of great prizes to win – See all details – HERE.
At Hilton Riverside New Orleans we know we can’t celebrate Mardi Gras as we traditionally do this year. What we can celebrate is the great Mardi Gras traditions of Self-expression, Creativity, and Giving back to our community. ~ Hilton Riverside
