Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras (meaning “Fat Tuesday” in French) was originated in the USA by the French founders of Mobile, Alabama and is now celebrated mostly along the Gulf Coast from Northwest Florida to East Texas. It is known for its street parades, large formal balls and outlandish costumes. The largest celebration takes place in New Orleans, Louisiana on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday every year.
