LIVE: Parades in New Orleans ahead of Mardi Gras

Watch live parades in New Orleans. Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday, which takes place March 4, marks the party’s climax and the end of Carnival season on the Gulf Coast. The conclusion falls the day before Ash Wednesday and is seen as a final day of feasting and revelry before the solemnity of Lent. #mardigras #neworleans #live
