Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) is the culmination of the Carnival season, a vibrant and historic celebration that transforms the streets of New Orleans into a massive, colorful festival. Mardi Gras is an immersive, sensory-heavy experience defined by elaborate floats, marching bands, and 'throws'—beads, doubloons, and hand-painted trinkets tossed to the crowd. The event is organized by social clubs known as Krewes (e.g., Rex, Zulu, Endymion). Each Krewe hosts a parade with a specific theme and ornate, hand-crafted floats. Dress Code: Anything goes, but costumes, masks, and the traditional colors of purple (justice), green (faith), and gold (power) are highly encouraged. Arrive hours early to snag a spot on the curb for major parades and enjoy the local tradition of families with custom 'bead ladders' for children to catch the best throws.
