Being a New Orleanian, it was a right of passage to go to your first parade. For many, you were barely out of your mother’s womb. Your mom or dad holding you in one arm and using the other to catch/deflect beads. If this sounds crazy to you, chances are, you haven’t been to Mardi Gras!
It's Mardi Gras Y'all!!
The parades may start in January/February, but the preparation is year-round. The minute that last float rolls by, the magic for the next year begins. You see, Mardi Gras isn’t just about bead and trinkets,. No, dahlin, it’s much more than that.
It’s a time of year that everyone, no matter race, background, or hometown, come together to enjoy life. Celebrating “just because” it feels good to be alive!
What is Mardi Gras all about?
