Mardi Gras is the ultimate street party. Hundreds of tourists visit several locations where Mardi Gras is celebrated. Whether it is in New Orleans, USA or in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil or
Venice, Italy, Mardi Gras is the place to party on the day before Ash Wednesday.
Colorful parades of women in skimpy clothes, men in different costumes, floats beautifully decorated roam the streets as people around dance to the beating of the drums. Dancing and singing are abound as bands
play lively music.
Mardi Gras is really translated in English as Fat Tuesday. Those who observe the Catholic tradition of Ash Wednesday may understand why this is celebrated. The day before Ash Wednesday, people feast on the streets as if it was their last because, yes, the following days require Catholics, aged 18 and up, to fast. Ash Wednesday marks the Lenten Season. And before that day comes, it is just rightful to party on the last day before the rule changes, right?
This year though, the people of New Orleans are thinking twice about celebrating Mardi Gras especially after being devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Anyway, whether they push on thru or not, Mardi Gras will be the tradition party-goers will love through the years.
