Around Mardi Gras, on some of the less famous days there are neighborhood celebrations and some unique events, such as a parade of dogs (and other pets?) in costume. Try to watch something from a residential neighborhood rather than the area around Canal Street. It's even better if you know some locals; maybe your AirBnB host can connect you to something of this nature.
