The highlight of Mardi Gras is its dazzling parades, and the streets are jam-packed with spectacular floats, marching bands, and sparkling costumes in vivid colours.
The highlight of Mardi Gras is its dazzling parades, and the streets are jam-packed with spectacular floats, marching bands, and sparkling costumes in vivid colours. If you want to fit in, wear a costume (the more glitter, the better!), as nothing sticks out more than a tourist in shorts and a T-shirt! As the day unfolds, the parades turn into parties, and the whole city hums with a collective celebratory spirit.
