Mardi Gras Carnival (New Orleans)

Mardi Gras Carnival (New Orleans)
Mardi Gras first came to New Orleans through French Culture in the year 1699 when the French explorers celebrated the holiday on the Mississippi River. Over the years, the celebration has witnessed growing national attention with many parades and parties coming in to add to its hue and flavor. Despite the Hispanic invasion later the celebration has not lost its original French influence.
The French name Mardi Gras means Fat Tuesday, from the custom of using all the
fats in the home before Lent.
The three-day period of Sunday, Monday, and Shrove Tuesday, was known as Shrovetide,
following which the period of Lent begins.
