Mardi Gras is incomplete without the Mardi Gras Parades. In US there are millions of people who fly over to New Orleans to be a part of the big celebration. This is a mega event where millions of people participate in Mardi Gras.
The parades in New Orleans continue for two weeks. Each day of this fortnight sees more than one extravagant, colorful and joyous parade. In the closing days of the carnival, the number of parades that sets off every day increases. The parades are an occasion for family and friends to dress up bizarre, decorate parade trucks together and enjoy the fantastic carnival. Traditionally these parades are overwhelmingly drenched in purple that symbolizes justice, green that symbolizes faith and gold that symbolizes power. The official flag of Mardi Gras is made up of these colors.
Another very interesting part of Mardi Gras Parades is the marching bands that take the streets and play the favorite tunes, which the spectators really enjoy. The marching bands just stir liveliness in people by playing the jazz tunes and after this, the floats and thousands of paraders take over.
