The New Orleans Mardi Gras is North America’s biggest costume party and one of its favorite events for travelers. The dawn-to-midnight celebration encourages the meek to dress boldly, the poor to pretend they are rich, children to costume as cute animals and men to wear scanty female outfits.
Fat Tuesday, which climaxes the carnival season, is the one day of the year, other than Halloween, that people can roam the metropolitan area streets legally hiding behind masks.
For some Louisianians and their visitors, it is a day to carry out their fantasies by dressing as someone or something else. Expensively outfitted cowboys, astronauts, beauty queens, and star athletes walk the long parade routes, posing for photographers and TV crews along the way.
