The parent company of The Times-Picayune has acquired Arthur Hardy’s Mardi Gras Guide, the print magazine and website that provides extensive coverage of Carnival parades, events and customs.
The deal, announced by Georges Media Group on Wednesday, adds the annual guide to the media company’s slate of local print and digital publications across south Louisiana, including NOLA.com, theadvocate.com, Gambit, and the daily newspapers in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Lafayette, among others.
Hardy, 77, founded the magazine 47 years ago with his wife, Sue Hardy. In the decades since, the publication has become the go-to source of information on Mardi Gras for residents and visitors.
Under the agreement, Georges Media Group will take over day-to-day operations of the Mardi Gras Guide effective immediately, but Hardy will continue to direct editorial content and coverage through its 50th anniversary in 2026.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
