Mardi Gras - What is the problem?

Have you ever wondered what great thing Carnival is Carnival, right? While in many places just noted, in others the entire city to a standstill for a party monster. New Orleans and Rio de Janeiro are probably the most famous city for Mardi Gras parties, although are not the only ones!

Technically, the Carnival lasts from Epiphany, the day before Ash Wednesday, but the major parties and parades are reserved for the day of the carnival, theis the last day of Carnival and is known as Mardi Gras. On this day, cities are almost closed for carnival parades (especially at night) and it is common that people run in outrageous costumes and masks. In fact, to this day, are laws against the use of masks to hide their identity often seen (although security conscious enterprises such as banks still demand that they be removed).

costume parties, masquerade balls werefor hundreds of years, we have references to them back to the 14th Century. They will meet as a way for a popular character, usually crush the inhibitions, at least for a few hours. While some people go with a custom low-cost, simple, others go all out with an elaborate, meticulously planned getup.

Although there is no standard type of mask to wear for the Carnival of extravagant, the better! This is a chance to leave it all hang outand relaxation, may be the biggest party of the year and definitely the biggest party costume!
