The workers who create and decorate Mardi Gras floats are often referred to as "float builders" or "float designers." They are typically part of a larger organization known as a "krewes," which are social clubs that participate in the Mardi Gras celebrations. These artisans and craftsmen work on the intricate designs and themes of the floats, ensuring they are visually stunning for the parades.

Mardi Gras parades start about two weeks before Mardi Gras day. The date of Mardi Gras changes each year since the date of Easter changes. Mardi Gras day always falls the day before Ash Wednesday.

The Spanish added a festive flair to Mardi Gras parades by introducing elements such as vibrant costumes, lively music, and elaborate floats. They integrated traditional Spanish celebrations and customs, infusing the festivities with a sense of carnival spirit. This blend of cultures contributed to the unique and colorful atmosphere that defines modern Mardi Gras celebrations, particularly in cities like New Orleans.
