Mardi Gras is an event that is being awaited by millions of people throughout the US. It is an event where a lot of people from all over the United States fly over to New Orleans to be a part of the mega celebrations. Mardi Gras Day is also known as the Fat Tuesday. It is an interesting fact that Mardi Gras came to New Orleans with the French colonists in the 18th century. You would be amazed to know that it is not only in New Orleans that this event takes place, but it also occurs in many parts of the world.

In United States Mardi Gras takes place at Detroit, Galveston Island, Mississippi, Mobile, Pensacola, St. Louis, Port Arthur, San Diego, etc. Mardi Gras also takes place in many other countries, which includes Australia, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Caribbean, Italy, Mexico, Panama, Slovenia, Sweden, and Uruguay. I think that this might be a new thing for you that Mardi Gras is celebrated in so many places throughout the world.

Let us jump to another fact that there are associations who organize Mardi Gras carnivals, known as Krewes. Mardi Gras officially begins on the 12th day of Christmas. From the beginning of New Year till the time when Mardi Gras starts, there are a lot of people who start celebrating Mardi Gras by throwing private parties and at the same time a lot of outdoor activities begin throughout New Orleans to embrace the upcoming grand celebrations. With all these facts, I would also like to add that it would not be wrong to say that Mardi Gras celebrations are incomplete without Mardi Gras Beads, Mardi Gras Masks and Mardi Gras Floats.
