For your party, celebration, festival, feast, dance or parade you can source costumes, masks, beads, music and food ideas. And if you put on a little too much weight during the fun times, you can even find healthy recipes and diets to help you get back into trim.
Feel that you would like to go to the Mardigras? There are dozens of MardiGra carnivals in cities around the Gulf, the deep South and also South America, all are an excellent holiday destination with a mix of 3, 4 or 5 star hotel accomodation, local or world cuisine, parades, music & dance, but most of all, the festivities are there to be enjoyed.
