When most people think about Mardi Gras, they think of New Orleans. The North American celebration did start in 1699 near New Orleans but Mobile, Alabama is where the fun really started, then it moved to Biloxi and finally New Orleans. Mardi Gras almost faded away from New Orleans in the mid-19th century. Who knew there are also forms of Mardi Gras globally?! Sponsored by the Westfield Foundation.
