ABOUT THE MARDI GRAS PARADES: Although parade schedules may change, these four days have the best parades, locally known as Krewes, including Rex, Bacchus and Endymion. The origins of Mardi Gras can be traced to Medieval Europe though we have no written record of how that transformed into the Mardi Gras of today. But the origins of today's Mardi Gras - with Kings, Mardi Gras colors, and brass bands - are traced to New Orleans.
