Mardi Gras Party Favors are a fun tradition of Mardi Gras. In the United States, it was not until 1837 however, that the first Mardi Gras parade was staged. The first description of a Mardi Gras parade is of a single float in 1839 which was a crude thing, but a great success. It is reported that the float moved through the streets while the crowd roared. Mardi Gras in New Orleans is an American tradition and people come year after year to be a part of the celebrations. During the parades, costumed krewe members ride highly decorated floats and toss strings of plastic
Beads and other trinkets into the crowds of spectators lining the streets. You can give the same sort of treasures out as party favors for an authentic
Mardi Gras Theme Party.
