This year’s Mardi Gras parade features 12 vibrant floats, including four new additions that celebrate different cultures and festivals from around the world – Venetian Carnival, Oktoberfest, 4th of July and Rio de Janeiro Carnival. All of the exquisitely detailed Mardi Gras floats are engineered by Blaine Kern Artists, the same company that has been hand-crafting floats for the iconic New Orleans celebration since 1947.

The best products of Mardi Gras can be found at Winn Dixie.

I love Mardi Gras, we try to go several times to see the parade (we actually have been picked to throw beads several times too) and to see a few shows. I am looking forward to Nate Ruess, Fallout Boy, and The Fray this year.
