All the fun isn’t at street level during Mardi Gras; look up for some festive balcony parties, such as Krewe of WHO? Balcony Party and Bead Throw. Held on the largest balcony on The Strand, the party includes music by the Zydeco Dots, dancing, dinner and a cash bar. Throw beads to the crowds below as the parade passes. 2 to 10 p.m. Jockusch Building, The Strand. For information, visit www.kreweofwho.com. $100 to $150.
