Celebrating Mardi Gras in New Orleans | National Geographic

[@poppyyukia]

Happiness is not a waste of resources. I would love to go and see this tradition in real life.

[@michelleesworldd1928]

ME TOO!!!

[@bean_master6962]

It's so worth it, it's not even in just new Orleans, I'm from northwest FL and they have mardi gras parades

[@Haloitzchris]

That is the cleanest trumpet I've ever seen even on video sheeeesh

[@valmarsiglia]

No, the baby doesn't mean you buy next *year's* king cake! You buy the next king cake, which could be the next day or whenever the next get-together is. You don't just eat one king cake during Carnival season. You never eat just one anything in New Orleans!

[@starriderkittykat9064]

It can also mean your the King Or Queen that day..Chalmette.

[@maserati925]

The point of Mardi Gras is to enjoy the foods and frivolity before lent begins. It came from the Catholic populations. CARNEvale is Roman for to do without meat consumption.

[@ashima_22]

[@aurorablanket]

At Mexico we have our own version of king cake, the rosca de reyes.

[@jellybeanthelizard8143]

What we do is make a NEW New Years resolution at lent and then eat pancakes till we are dead and give up the resolutions in a week start up again and fail and don’t go back simple enough

[@BlueLou974]

Wasn't Mardi Gras started in mobile Alabama but sky rocketed in New Orleans

[@afcw1969]

Mardi Gras came from Europe.

[@andreadickey7049]

Yes, Mardi Gras came from Europe but was brought over and started in Mobile, AL by Joe Cain in America.

[@afcw1969]

Andrea Dickey I enjoyed Mardi Gras in Portugal

[@sethmouton3827]

It's America origins was in Mobile. New Orleans threw the first street parade

[@juliusnicholson1509]

It was started in Mobile, Alabama in North America. "Mobile, founded by Bienville in 1702, is known for having the oldest organized Mardi Gras celebrations in the United States, beginning in 1703. It was also host to the first formally organized Mardi Gras parade in the United States in 1830."

[@lalomunozcastillo7883]

Es una tradicion de los sacerdotes que trajeron de españa y en america le agregaron el muñequito y en mexico se celebra el 6 de enero.

[@TheOzzyMartin1]

Lalo Muñoz castillo bueno en este caso viene de la tradición francesa. y se ve en que los carnavales en texas son basados en la tradición de nueva orleans y no al estilo mexicano (obvio no incluyendo inmigrantes mexicanos)

I am curious....What is the Mardi Gras all about? ( I’m Filipino btw, so I don’t know much about these American cultures :/ )

OK to sum it up its about celebrating our culture and heritage.
