Most places in the U.S. don't celebrate Mardi Gras in particular. It's mainly something that's in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was originated in the USA in Mobile, AL long before New Orleans even was founded. Mardi Gras is only legally observed as a state holiday in the counties of Mobile and Baldwin in Alabama. The other 65 counties of the state do not recognize it as a holiday.

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.
