Decoration Ideas for a Mardi Gras Party
Mardi Gras is annual holiday celebrated by residents along the Gulf Coast. Originally a French celebration commemorating the beginning of the Lent fasting season, French colonists brought this tradition to the New World. It was recognized with a feast and dancing. Now, this beloved holiday is enjoyed by Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Thousands descend on the Gulf Coast region yearly to participate in parties, watch parades and dance the night away. Decorations at your own Mardi Gras party help get people in the mood to celebrate. Does this Spark an idea?
