About Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras is the raucous celebration that precedes Ash Wednesday and the season of Lent leading up to Easter. While some of the most famous celebrations for Mardi Gras and Carnival occur in New Orleans, Lousiana and Rio De Janiero, Brazil, cities all over the world celebrate the day. The New Orleans celebration features massive floats cutting a path down Bourbon Street and partying in the streets. Beads are tossed to the revellers and party-goers are seen drenched in the holiday's traditional colors of purple, green, and gold -- representative of justice, faith, and power.

Jesters are also popular fixtures during the festivities and there are even Mardi Gras jester hats to give your costume a holiday-specific touch! In
