When you hear of Mardi Gras you usually think New Orleans. However, for those of you not native to Louisiana, it may come as a surprise to learn that most of the major cities have parades. Now Mardi Gras is not just a parade, but a series of parades starting the first weekend in February and culminating with final parades and the crowning of a King and Queen on Mardi Gras Day which is Feb. 24th this year. You will find many colorful parades. Many have themes that vary from year to year.
