Mardi Gras Traditions

Cultural traditions such as Mardi Gras play an important role in many peoples lives. In Louisiana, its an extra boost in the economy where more than 10,000 people visit to celebrate the tradition. Back in the old days when resources and money were low, people would go around and sing and dance or whatever else they could do to get donations from stores and farmers for the festival. Mardi Gras dates back to the first cities where people would have parties that lasted for days just as we do now.
