Mardi Gras HistoryDespite
being an experience was born deep in tradition, no one knows exactly how
the Mardi Gras carnival came into being. Some scholars say it's origin
can be traced to the orgies that were held in the Roman Empire - but again,
that could be pure speculation..
Nevertheless, we know that in the early 1700's the French of New Orleans were holding elaborate balls where guests were encouraged to wear a mask. But when the Spanish government took over, parties and street dancing were banned. It wasn't until 1827, when Americans were in power, that the right to party in mask was restored, and with this new found freedom, elite parties began resurfacing again. For fear that the right to party could easily be taken away again, a group of men formed to ensure that the Mardi Gras festivities and parade would be put on in a professional manner, and in 1867 they became known as The Mystick Krewe of Comos. And they formed their first parade through the city using flambeauxs to light the procession. Since that time additional Krewes have been formed, and the mardi gras parades have grown to world wide popularity. And to that end, catching free Mardi Gras Beads has become one of onlookers most favorite past times. And we've become the leading supplier of Mardi Gras Beads for the festival of carnival.
