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.
Dressing up for Mardi Gras
Beads! Sequins! Feathers! Outlandish costumes always have a place during Mardi Gras! No matter where you are, celebrate the day with costumes in purple, green, and gold. Dress as a peacock with brilliant green and gold plumage touched with purple, or find yourself wearing a long, dazzling Mardi Gras cape and concealing your identity for the night with a traditional Mardi Gras mask or flirt with a feathered Mardi Gras fan, a delightfully decadent prop! 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
