CELEBRATIONS ALL OVER THE

Mardi Gras, New Orleans, USA
When Mardi Gras takes over the streets of New Orleans for two whole weeks it’s the
carnival to rival all carnivals. Make sure you’ve got your best fancy dress costumes
with you because Mardi Gras is all about dressing up. Be as wild and as exaggerated
as you can imagine, then go join in the fun. Mingle among the crowds thronging the
streets, follow the parades, dance the hours away to live music and marching bands
then put your best foot forward at a masquerade ball. But don’t forget, there’s only
one rule for Mardi Gras and that’s party until you drop.

When: The Mardi Gras dates change every year depending when the official dates for
Easter fall. The festivities generally start two weeks before Shrove Tuesday so make a
note in your diary.
