Picture a New Orleans morning during Carnival: the crooked avenues and the sprawling live oaks bent beneath the weight of bead necklaces hanging on their branches. The Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans is the largest American interpretation of the worldwide Carnival tradition, a spectacular display of cultural extravagance. Ritualized in hundreds of countries across the globe, Carnival festivities unearth a city’s most opulent customs and ceremonies. From Trinidad and Tobago to Rio de Janeiro, Carnival experiences thousands of rebirths and metamorphoses every year as the global population competes to show what makes their culture the most vivid of all.
