Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras est l'équivalent américain de carnaval. Cette fête trouve son origine chez les colons français de New Orleans (dans l'État nommé plus tard Louisiane). Bien que la plupart des gens aujourd'hui fassent un parallèle entre "Mardi Gras" et New Orleans, cette fête est aussi célébrée à Biloxi/Mississippi et Mobile/Alabama. A New Orleans les "krewes" (sociétés carnevalesques) organisent pendant la saison de nombreuses fêtes et de nombreux bals ainsi qu'un très beau défilé pour mardi gras.
