Mardi Gras Day 2009 in New Orleans

Though the word Mardi Gras itself promises an event filled with elegant costumes and elaborate street partying, the Mardi Gras in New Orleans is one of the festivities that stand out from the rest. This is the kind of celebration that lure people, Lent believers and non, out from their caves and drive their way to Louisiana.

Set to happen on the 24th of February this year, the celebration of the Fat Tuesday is seen as the most successful Mardi Gras since 2004 that has brought in approximately a million tourist in New Orleans. Even before the big day, a number of hotel reservations have already been made that are set to exceed almost one-million visitors of the 2004 New Orleans Mardi Gras, not counting the by-day and hitchhiking tourists.

Apart from the titillating display of women anatomy and what others have come to regard as obscenity, both of which seem to obscure tradition, the New Orleans Mardi Gras 2009 still holds on to the necessary ingredients of the much awaited festivity: the carnival, the Krewes and of course, the brimming spectacle and beauty of the occasion. So, when you want to stop from the plain and boring routine that you are living, enjoy and have fun in this year's Mardi Gras 2009 event in Nw Orleans and experience for yourself the awe and wonders this whole celebration brings.
