Mardi Gras, a Lecture by Evan Weiner

Mardi Gras: Most people think of New Orleans when it comes to the Mardi Gras. The North American celebration did start in 1699 near New Orleans but Mobile, Alabama is where the fun really started, then it moves to Biloxi and finally New Orleans. Mardi Gras almost faded away from New Orleans in the mid-19 th century. There are also forms of Mardi Gras globally.
