What Can One Expect at Mardi Gras 2012?

Mardi Gras is an annual celebration that is held the day before Lent. As Lent and Easter dates change yearly, so the Mardi Gras date also changes yearly. The Mardi Gras date 2012 is February 21. However, one will probably want to arrive in New Orleans at least a few days ahead of time in order to check out the city. In fact, Mardi Gras celebrations start well before the official Mardi Gras date. The first two parades are held on February 4 and are scheduled to go through the city's well known French Quarter. The Krewe du Vieux starts at 6:30 in the afternoon; this parade is then followed by the Krewe Delusion. There are over three dozen other parades that take place before official Mardi Gras date; however, those who cannot make it into town before February 21st can still enjoy the nine parades that are due to take place on this day. The parades set to take place on the 21st of February start at eight in the morning and continue on for several hours.
