Feb 16 Dubbed the Greatest Free Show on Earth, Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) happens on the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras started in New Orleans in 1827, when the Americans took power of New Orleans from the Spanish, who had banned street dancing and parties. The city's elite started having private balls and masques and the commoners joined in with wild parties on the streets. A group of men attempted to organize the festivities, forming the first "Krewe". Each Krewe stages parades with elaborate floats, costumes, "throws" and balls, where that years debutantes are introduced and everyone parties until Midnight on Fat Tuesday. Events begin on January sixth, with the week-long celebrations leading up to Mardi Gras day.
