Mardi Gras

Every year in New Orleans, around February/March, people celebrate Mardi Gras! There are multiple parades every week, some with giant double-decker floats and others with themed walking crews (and many with both!). People in the parades throw beads and other trinkets to the people in the crowds. By the end of the day, your neck is aching from the weight of all the beads and your voice is gone from cheering the whole time. It's so much fun!
