During the Mardi Gras Season, celebrations reach a peak on the weekend of the Mardi Gras, and more than a dozen major Parades sponsored by “Krewes” and countless costumed revelers take to the streets and provide what has often been billed as the “Greatest Free Show on Earth”.  The city of New Orleans swells its population during the festival by more than 1 million people.
