When it comes to Super Bowl parades, we don't usually see one until a team actually wins the game, but in New Orleans, they do things differently and that's a big reason why the city decided to hold a parade the day BEFORE the Super Bowl.

It's Super Bowl week in New Orleans, and those in town for the event have their pick of parties that comes with it. Why it matters: You don't need game tickets to find a way to celebrate in New Orleans when the NFL arrives for the city's 11th time hosting the big game.
