The first Mardi Gras in America started in Louisiana on March 3,1699. The name was Pointe du Mardi Gras and the spot was called Bayou Mardi Gras. Today the town is called Buras,Louisiana on the Mississippi River 60 miles down from New Orleans. Mobile started Mardi Gras in 1703 and Mobile was a part of Louisiana during that time. So really. Mobile,Louisiana was the 1st Capital of Louisiana. Mobile didn't become a part of Alabama until the 1800's a whole century later. But New Orleans is the heart and soul of Mardi ⚜️
Mobile was great fun, more time needed indeed, Mardi Gras here we come 🙌
So many interesting and varied things to do
