Top Reasons To Add Mardi Gras To Your Bucket List

6. Costumes

Costumes are the one aspect of Mardi Gras that has everyone, no matter age or gender, looking comical (in the right ways). Tourists and locals flock together to fill the streets of New Orleans wearing anything and everything imaginable. From pink hair to feather outfits and full out body paint, there are no limits to the excitement and creativity that comes with outfit freedom. It is one of the only times that an individual may receive strange looks for wearing regular clothing on the walkway. Letting loose with a unique and colorful outfit is merely another reason that Mardi Gras should be added to every wanderer’s hit list.
