Mardi Gras in New Orleans, also known as Fat Tuesday, is cultural scene like the US version of carnival(狂欢节). But there is some debate over it was NOLA or Mobile, Alabama that had the first Mardi Gras back in the 1700s.
Regardless of who did it first, few would argue that the New Orleans festival is the best. Though the celebration (hold) every year on the day before Ash Wednesday, the festivities last for months. It (begin)with social events in November, private balls on Thanksgiving Day and New Year's Eve, with parades(游行) and more private balls throughout January and early February.
Getting invites to some (organize) events isn't easy. But if you know someone or have much money, MOM's Ball and Orpheuscapade Ball are (frequent) ranked among the best. If you are enthusiastic music, check out the annual Galactic concert at the world-famous Tipitina's on Lundi Gras (the day before Mardi Gras).
When the big day arrives, it's best (plan) what you want to see. Longtime locals have a (prefer) for the Krewe of Muses Parade, the Rex &. Zulu Parade, and the Krewe of St. Anne and Krewe of Julu Parades. But, for our money, it doesn't get any (great) than watching the Mardi Gras Indians Parade.
