More Great Information on Mardi Gras:
Mobile, Alabama is the Birthplace of Mardi Gras
Mention Mardi Gras and images of drunken wildness in New Orlean's French Quarter most likely spring to mind. But did you know that it all actually started in Mobile, Alabama over 300 years ago? Did you also know that Mobile is "America's Family Mardi Gras" and is appropriate for all ages? If you're looking for more family fun with less "wild" and "drunken" then get your Mardi Gras costume ready because Mobile has one of the safest celebrations in the world. WHEN IS MARDI GRAS? The exact date of Mardi Gras changes each year, but it can always be determined by calculating backwards from the date on which Easter falls. Mardi Gras Day, or "Fat Tuesday" is always the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, which begins the 40-day Lenten season. PARADES. Although it's family-friendly, Mobile Alabama's Mardi Gras is not just for the kids. The frivolity and excitement of a parade or party has a way of turning staid adults into giddy revelers, whether you choose to outfit yourself in sequins and masks or an outrageous costume. For weeks proceeding Mardi Gras, the streets of Mobile and surrounding suburbs come alive. Frequent parades are the highlights. Brilliant-colored floats motor slowly down the streets, allowing time for costumed riders to toss "throws" to the enthusiastic crowds. Favored "throws" are beaded necklaces in the traditional colors of green, gold, and purple, moon pies, candy, plastic cups, moon pies, stuffed animals, wooden coins, and more moon pies! The best way to get the most throws is to get yourself noticed: wave your hands in the air, jump up and down, yell, and catch the eye of a thrower on the float. Of course if you wear a colorful funky hat, you'll really stand out! Get to the parade route early to stake your spot on the sidewalk or roadside, and bring a bag to haul home your loot. You'll be leaving with literally pounds of beads and other souvenirs! HISTORY. The Mardi Gras of days gone by wasn't quite so raucous at first. Back in 1703 when Mobile was basically a colony of French soldiers, a few men painted their faces and acted crazy for a few hours. They were celebrating because the city had come through a bad bout of yellow fever and diseases such as that weren't easily out-lived back then. The celebration caught on and became an annual event. The first parade occurred in 1840 in New Orleans when a group from Mobile helped the Crescent City establish its own celebration. Mystic organizations developed and continue today. Membership in a mystic society is taken very seriously and is highly coveted, but mystic doesn't mean black magic. You can tell by the funky names- Knights of Daze, Maids of Jubilee, Mystics of Pleasure, Krewe of Merry Mates, Comic Cowboys- that it's all about the fun. After the Civil War, the Southern way of life changed forever. Mobile was occupied by Federal troops, and many celebrations and traditions were put on hold. After years of no Mardi Gras, in 1866, Joe Cain, an ordinary citizen, decided to do something about the doom and gloom. Cain decked himself in full Chickasaw Indian regalia, climbed aboard a coal wagon with some rowdy friends, and rode through the town. Mardi Gras was revived! Mardi Gras must be experienced to be fully understood. If you've never participated before, be sure to bring the family to where it all began- Mobile, Alabama. Whether you choose to go all out and attend a masquerade ball, or maybe just wear a mask or hat to the parades, you can't go wrong. The original home of the crazy celebration is the best place to discover just how many colorful beads one person can wear- your neck definitely gets put to the test! Grab all you can, because at the stroke of midnight on Fat Tuesday, the wackiness vanishes to make way for Lent. But until then... Laissez les bon temps roullex - let the good times roll!
