Where Is Louisiana?
Parades and parties. Costumes and masks. Music and dancing. It’s Mardi Gras!
People in New Orleans (say: nor-LEENZ) celebrate Mardi Gras (say: MAR-dee grah) every February or March. Groups called krewes secretly work on their parade floats all year long. The floats can be longer than a football field and might have moving parts, lights, and even special effects that look like fireworks.
People on the floats dress up and they must wear masks. It’s the law! Many people in the crowd dress up, too. Louisiana’s joyful spirit has celebrated the fun of Mardi Gras with a parade for more than 150 years.
