February 24 2009 In New Orleans. Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras brings chaos in the form of big parades, and parties.Some parties include feather masks and glittered top hats (These are also called mascaraed balls).Its celebrated all over the world.Its also includes King Cake parties. Locals of where the parade is held, Tourists, Catholic and pretty much everyone else takes place in the celebration including riding on floats or just watching. People can also just walk along and cheer. Its walking from one end to the other end of a small quarter in New Orleans.

Mardi Gras seems like a lot of fun. Except you can't eat anything afterwords, But the parties and all the food and the secrets held in the week could be pretty mystifying. The fact that all the people in New Orleans can be in this and its fun, is cool because it doesn't discriminate. It me might be cold but these people dress up like crazy and have cool parties and get to eat all day, It woud be so cool to go and get involved.
