Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras Holiday

Mardi Gras is a very popular holiday that ends the carnival period; it is French for fat Tuesday also known as shrove Tuesday. The carnival period begins January 6th, and ends with Mardi Gras, considered by people as the last day to indulge on food before Ash Wednesday when Lent begins, which is the time of fasting. Mardi Gras is celebrated as a legal holiday only in Louisiana, in the United States. It is a holiday that has a different date every year, but it always marks the carnival season.

Party supplies are sold everywhere for the popular Mardi Gras season. The most popular item for Mardi Gras is the throw beads. These beads are thrown and collected by people during the holiday. It is common to go home with handfuls of beads. These beads are inexpensive, costing pennies for a strand. Some of these beads are handmade; these beads are just a little bit pricier because they have more time put into making them. Mardi Gras throw beads come in all colors but the most common are gold, silver, blue, red, and yellow. People celebrate Mardi Gras with enormous marches in parades, food, fun, laughter, masks, and beads. The story behind the masks was that the French settler arrived in the 1700’s hidden behind masks, that masks were actually band and said to be illegal in the 19th century. Crazy costumes, makeup, marching bands, feather-covered showgirls, painted clowns, and outrageous performers, cover the streets of New Orleans on this Mardi Gras day of celebration; some people travel hundreds of miles just to go to New Orleans for this holiday to claim a spot on the streets to watch the parades and floats with visiting celebrities go by. Mardi Gras is an extremely popular holiday and celebrated all over the United States. Everyone should go once in his or her life to see this festive celebration, especially in New Orleans, Louisiana.
