Mardi Gras Returns to New Orleans With Grand Parades
NEA special correspondent notes Mardi Gras in New Orleans on March 5 will draw 300000 to 500000 revelers. The city erupts in parades and masked crowds, its Carnival roots tracing to the 18th century with King’s Party and grand Krewe balls. Rex and Comus parades mark the day, torchlit floats fill 196 square miles of the city, while Masses and ashes precede Lent.
