“Fat Tuesday,” namely as translated from the French Mardi Gras, is one of the grandest and most colorful carnivals in the world. The holiday originated in the 18th century, when the territory of Louisiana was under the control of France. After the arrival of the Spaniards this holiday was banned, but soon the locals still made his return. The American Mardi Gras — February madness, celebrate a costume parade before the Great lent. Here reigns the great jazz of New Orleans, the musicians, blowing cheeks, blowing from every angle, from carts at the crowd showered confetti and tinsel, and his eyes can’t believe all the unimaginable number of colours, dancing around.
