No, actually Mardi Gras originated somewhere in Europe. The first American "Mardi Gras" WAS in Louisiana:" the first American Mardi Gras took place on March 3, 1699, when the French explorers Iberville and Bienville landed in what is now Louisiana, just south of the holiday's future epicenter: New Orleans. They held a small celebration and dubbed the spot Point du Mardi Gras." The first recorded American Mardi Gras PARADE was in Mobile, AL in 1703.

Celebrate Mardi Gras in Style?
Mardi Gras is a time of celebration that is often accompanied by extravagant costumes. Perhaps second only to Halloween in terms of inspiring elaborate garb, Mardi Gras inspires all kinds of reverly, and it's up to individuals to decide just how they want to participate. Many people choose to wear elegant clothing for Mardi Gras, treating it like a ball. Indeed, masquerade balls are popular during Mardi Gras, and at these events, you will find couples dancing in expensive gowns and splashy suits while wearing intricate masks, some of which may cost even more than the outfits. Masks are a major part of Mardi Gras, and master mask makers produce them in all styles imaginable. If you want to make it so that you are unrecognizable, that should be easy to arrange. However, you do not need to spend hundreds of dollars on an authentic Venetian mask in order to join in the fun of mask-wearing. You can manage it very inexpensively. Most costume shops sell paper masks for Mardi Gras, and these usually only cost a few dollars at most. You can always buy one of these. You might also choose to make your own mask. Paper plates make an excellent mask base; once you've cut the plate in such a way that it will fit comfortable on your face, you can decorate it with markers, crayons, glitter, sequins, feathers and any other assorted oddments that occur to you. Anything goes on Mardi Gras, so if you want to treat it basically as another Halloween, no one will give you a hard time about it. Whatever costume you want to wear will be acceptable. If you don't want to wear a costume, that's fine too. You can still get into the fun of the holiday with an outfit that reflects the holiday. For instance, you might buy a t-shirt with a Mardi Gras saying on it or wear several strings of plastic beads. At the very least, you should wear gold, purple or green, preferably in combination with each other. There's no such thing as a bad Mardi Gras costume. Simply use your creativity, and whatever you pick will be fine.
