Mardi Gras (known as Fat Tuesday) in New Orleans, is a celebration that is known worldwide.
Celebrations last for about two weeks culminating on Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras). There is normally a major parade each day and some-days there are a number of large parades. The largest and most elaborate parades take place the last five days of the Mardi-Gras season.
To the natives of New Orleans, "Mardi Gras" specifically refers to the Tuesday before lent, the highlight of the season.
The celebration of Mardi Gras was brought to Louisiana by early French settlers around 1699 with the first record of the holiday being celebrated in Louisiana at the mouth of the Mississippi River in what is now lower Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana
Celebrations begin early on Mardi Gras Day, which can fall on any Tuesday between February 3 and March 9 (depending on the date of Easter). Uptown, the Zulu parade is first, and is then followed by the Rex parade, ending on Canal Street. A number of smaller parading groups follow with their "truck floats”.
There are many smaller parades and walking clubs in the city during this time. The Jefferson City Buzzards, the Lyons Club, the Irish Channel Corner Club, Pete Fountain's Half Fast Walking Club, the KOE and some jazz bands. Others that parade during this time are: Society of Saint Anne, The Pair-O-Dice Tumblers and various groups of Mardi Gras Native Americans, divided into uptown and downtown tribes, parade in their finery.
With all that walking and standing for both the folks in the parades and the crowds watching there are bound to be a lot of “hurting feet”.
If you are going to go to Mardi Gras (or any celebration of this type) it is important to wear shoes that are appropriate for the amount of walking you will be doing.
You will need to estimate how far you will be walking total. If it is more than one hundred feet then you need to make sure you wear comfortable, supporting shoes. Mardi Gras parades will generally involve quite a bit of walking for the average person and the amount of walking around can fool you! Before you realize how long you have been out there, you could be hurting really bad!. You don’t want blisters keeping you from having a great time.
Take care of your feet and they will take care of you!
